BELIEVE ME
Jessica Valenti Jaclyn Friedman
How Trusting Women Can Change the World
What would happen if we believed women? Edited by two leading, agenda-setting feminists, 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.
Women are beginning to speak up and risk harassment to expose men's behavior that was previously only whispered aboutand more people than ever are starting to believe them. By believing women about pleasure and reproduction, we would save a staggering amount of public health costs. By believing survivors who aren't white or straight, we would strengthen our anti-rape efforts. By believing black women when they talk about pain, we could save lives.
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.
Including contributions from Jessica Valenti and Jaclyn Friedman, as well as Moira Donegan, Jamil Smith, Tatiana Maslany, Ashley Judd, and many more of the most important voices in feminism today, Believe Me is essential reading for the #MeToo era.
Jaclyn Friedman's work has redefined the concept of "healthy sexuality" and popularized the "yes means yes" standard of sexual consent that is quickly becoming law on many U.S. campuses. She is a popular speaker and opinion writer and the author of three books. Friedman hosts Unscrewed, a podcast exploring paths to sexual liberation, named a Best Sex Podcast by both Marie Claire and Esquire.
Jessica Valenti is the author of multiple books on feminism, politics and culture. Jessica is also the founder of Feministing.com. Her writing has appeared in publications like the New York Times, the Washington Post, Nation, and Ms. magazine. She is currently a columnist at the Guardian US. Jessica lives in Brooklyn with her husband and daughter.
