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.

看了她的视频来的,最喜欢的视频是她在崔娃的节目里说的话,她的声音听起来超级平静,沉稳有力,非常欣赏。 近四年的fight啊,不敢想象她是怎么熬过来的。最难过的是性侵给她带来的二次伤害,太让人心疼,法律还辜负了她 不过让人感到充满希望的是,这个案子最终的裁决。性侵的人被终生注册为性侵犯,并被美国泳协终身禁赛。那个只判了性侵犯3个月的法官被罢免了。最重要的是,通过了两项严惩性侵犯的新法案! 这就是发声... 看了她的视频来的,最喜欢的视频是她在崔娃的节目里说的话,她的声音听起来超级平静,沉稳有力,非常欣赏。 近四年的fight啊,不敢想象她是怎么熬过来的。最难过的是性侵给她带来的二次伤害,太让人心疼,法律还辜负了她 不过让人感到充满希望的是,这个案子最终的裁决。性侵的人被终生注册为性侵犯,并被美国泳协终身禁赛。那个只判了性侵犯3个月的法官被罢免了。最重要的是,通过了两项严惩性侵犯的新法案! 这就是发声的魅力和重要性啊!难怪作者的法庭陈述被认为是继《汤姆叔叔的小屋》以来美国最重要的历史文档之一。 感谢作者,感谢所有人的发声 (展开)

作者文笔太好,作者文笔怎么这么好?!表达极为清晰流畅,好到哭。作者记录了自己在斯坦福校园被一名大一新生强奸的人生事件。她走过了极为折磨人的美国司法体系,她绝望,她痛苦,她愤怒,她抑郁,她不安,她如常的生活被剥夺。作者是一个聪明的人,有着强大的内在力量,尽管很长时间内她并不自知,内在的全是否定的声音。作者能够勇敢地发声,为所有性侵受害者发声,离不开她生长的环境,她有爱她、支持她的家人和亲友,有提供支... 作者文笔太好,作者文笔怎么这么好?!表达极为清晰流畅,好到哭。作者记录了自己在斯坦福校园被一名大一新生强奸的人生事件。她走过了极为折磨人的美国司法体系,她绝望,她痛苦,她愤怒,她抑郁,她不安,她如常的生活被剥夺。作者是一个聪明的人,有着强大的内在力量,尽管很长时间内她并不自知,内在的全是否定的声音。作者能够勇敢地发声,为所有性侵受害者发声,离不开她生长的环境,她有爱她、支持她的家人和亲友,有提供支持和帮助的机构,有点燃她、鼓舞她改变现状的一直在抗争的人们。作者的力量和千千万万像作者一样,想要使这个世界更美好的人的力量,一起改变了世界。他们改写了加州司法体系,罢免了代表着保护白人男性精英的社会制度的法官,表达停止责备受害者的诉求。作者说能够发出声音,能够意识到这个世界并非一成不变的,真好 (展开)

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)
