4.9/5 (29845 ratings)

Description:A powerful anthology of the most well-known feminist voices answering the question: What if we believed women? And making the case that doing so is the key to advancing the modern feminist moment From the leading feminist editors of formative anthology Yes Means Yes, 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 the staggering public health costs of disbelieving women about pain, about pleasure, about reproduction, and beyond. Other contributors touch on: how believing women about on-and-offline violence would transform the internet, how survivors who aren't white or straight struggle to be taken seriously even within anti-rape advocacy; the surprising lesson Native American languages can teach us about gossip as a means of violence prevention and healing; how men are helping each other build masculine identities that aren't dependent on undermining women. Part taking stock of recent movements, part visions for a way forward, Believe Me has the potential to spark change and to appeal to the countless men and women who have been engaging with #metoo and looking to feminist leadership for next steps.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
