'The kind of book that has you screaming "Yes! Yes! Yes! Now I get
it!" on almost every page' Caitlin Moran 'Dr Taylor sets out a
compelling case . . . gives voice and agency to women who have
experienced trauma and violence' Morning Star She asked for it. She
was flirting. She was drinking. She was wearing a revealing dress.
She was too confident. She walked home alone. She stayed in that
relationship. She was naive. She didn't report soon enough. She
didn't fight back. She wanted it. She lied about it. She comes from
a bad area. She was vulnerable. She should have known. She should
have seen it coming. She should have protected herself. The victim
blaming of women is prevalent and normalised in society both in the
UK, and around the world. What is it that causes us to blame women
who have been abused, raped, trafficked, assaulted or harassed by
men? Why are we uncomfortable with placing all of the blame on the
perpetrators for their crimes against women and girls? Based on
three years of doctoral research and ten years of practice with
women and girls, Dr Jessica Taylor explores the many reasons we
blame women for male violence committed against them. Written in
her unique style and backed up by decades of evidence, this book
exposes the powerful forces in society and individual psychology
which compel us to blame women subjected to male violence.
