She was known to the world as Emily Doe when she stunned millions with a letter. Brock Turner had been sentenced to just six months in county jail after he was found sexually assaulting her on Stanford's campus. Her victim impact statement was posted on BuzzFeed, where it instantly went viral--viewed by eleven million people within four days, it was translated globally and read on the floor of Congress; it inspired changes in California law and the recall of the judge in the case. Thousands wrote to say that she had given them the courage to share their own experiences of assault for the first time.
Now she reclaims her identity to tell her story of trauma, transcendence, and the power of words. It was the perfect case, in many ways--there were eyewitnesses, Turner ran away, physical evidence was immediately secured. But her struggles with isolation and shame during the aftermath and the trial reveal the oppression victims face in even the best-case scenarios. Her story illuminates a culture biased to protect perpetrators, indicts a criminal justice system designed to fail the most vulnerable, and, ultimately, shines with the courage required to move through suffering and live a full and beautiful life.
Know My Name will forever transform the way we think about sexual assault, challenging our beliefs about what is acceptable and speaking truth to the tumultuous reality of healing. It also introduces readers to an extraordinary writer, one whose words have already changed our world. Entwining pain, resilience, and humor, this memoir will stand as a modern classic.

整个故事里最恶心的地方莫过于对方的辩护律师采取的那种无耻的手段,不断地向作者提出一些精心设计好的但和整个事件无关的问题,比如“在被强奸的那个晚上你吃晚餐了吗?吃的是什么?” 用这种无意义的问题来消耗受害者的精力,让她不停地回想那场痛苦经历,并且让她为自己当时的无意识没有知觉从而记不起来事情感到愧疚。不要小看这些看似无意义的问题,这些问题会一直留在受害者的内心的,迫使她记住日后自己所做的一切动作,以... 整个故事里最恶心的地方莫过于对方的辩护律师采取的那种无耻的手段,不断地向作者提出一些精心设计好的但和整个事件无关的问题,比如“在被强奸的那个晚上你吃晚餐了吗?吃的是什么?” 用这种无意义的问题来消耗受害者的精力,让她不停地回想那场痛苦经历,并且让她为自己当时的无意识没有知觉从而记不起来事情感到愧疚。不要小看这些看似无意义的问题,这些问题会一直留在受害者的内心的,迫使她记住日后自己所做的一切动作,以防将来在法庭上再次被问。 (展开)

在我眼里,这是今生必读书单里的佳作,不管读者是男是女。它的意义,不是情感宣泄或受害者的痛诉,而是灯塔般给生存者的希望之光。Miller的脆弱、力量、给人的希望都在她的文字里、穿透薄薄的纸张渗透过来。每一章节都有段落如此敲打和深深震动心灵。她的敏锐、聪慧、艺术感,结合着她内心的力量和真诚,让她的写作让人一眼就能感受她的天赋。而她最可贵的,也是她最想通过写作为太多无法这样形容出来的受害者/生存者表达,... 在我眼里,这是今生必读书单里的佳作,不管读者是男是女。它的意义,不是情感宣泄或受害者的痛诉,而是灯塔般给生存者的希望之光。Miller的脆弱、力量、给人的希望都在她的文字里、穿透薄薄的纸张渗透过来。每一章节都有段落如此敲打和深深震动心灵。她的敏锐、聪慧、艺术感,结合着她内心的力量和真诚,让她的写作让人一眼就能感受她的天赋。而她最可贵的,也是她最想通过写作为太多无法这样形容出来的受害者/生存者表达,表达在当下法律系统、公共机构,整个社会对有着这样经历的人们的作为和不作为带来了什么。在这个到处有意无意渲染加害者的时代里,把她们的声音,更把她们的人性交还给她们。如作者所说,我们本能地想远离受害的故事,可是我们该靠近,我们该聆听,我们该看到越过案件本身和伤痕之下每个闪闪发光的生存者。力荐之作!

斯坦福校园性侵受害者的回忆录。她记录了自己的遭遇,也冷静地思考分析偏袒性侵者的文化。最初她只是Emily Doe,没有名字没有身份,而施害者顶尖运动员名校学生的背景却被广泛报道,有些人因此认为她根本不是受害者,谁让她醉酒到不省人事呢。于是她写了那篇全网疯传的受害者陈述,直接推动了当地关于性侵案的立法修正。凭着这本回忆录,她终于勇敢地站到了台前,大声说出了自己名字,说出了自己的故事。真的写得很棒。诚... 斯坦福校园性侵受害者的回忆录。她记录了自己的遭遇,也冷静地思考分析偏袒性侵者的文化。最初她只是Emily Doe,没有名字没有身份,而施害者顶尖运动员名校学生的背景却被广泛报道,有些人因此认为她根本不是受害者,谁让她醉酒到不省人事呢。于是她写了那篇全网疯传的受害者陈述,直接推动了当地关于性侵案的立法修正。凭着这本回忆录,她终于勇敢地站到了台前,大声说出了自己名字,说出了自己的故事。真的写得很棒。诚实、细腻、动人、尖锐、有见地,真是一个天生的作家。 (展开)
