From two leading, agenda-setting feminist editors, Believe Me
brings readers into the current landscape of the anti-sexual
violence movement--and outlines how believing women is the critical
foundation for future progress. Essays include Jessica Valenti
writing about how a woman's word has never been enough in our
country, giving context to the question of why we don't believe
women. Jaclyn Friedman draws that idea out further, articulating
why it matters that women are believed about sexual violence -
because doing so finally grants us bodily sovereignty, impacting
whether we can be trusted about pain, about pleasure, about
reproduction and beyond. Other top-tier contributors touch on: how
race and class impact which kinds of women are believed; the ways
that women's behaviour (what they wear, what they were drinking)
trumps their testimony and words; how believing white women has
harmed communities of colour; visions of masculinity that aren't
dependent on undermining women. Part taking stock of recent
feminist movements, part visions for a way forward, Believe Me has
the potential to spark real change and to appeal to the countless
men and women who have been engaging with #metoo and looking to
feminist leadership for next steps.
