A collection of essays by a white US American feminist. The collection begins from her own horrific experiences of gendered and sexual violence (about which she has previously published a memoir), and then moves into essays on what might be described as areas of complicity and of collectively experienced harm. Contains a number of quite different kinds of essays, with quite different relationships between the author and the material. There is some powerful and well-written stuff, and she definitely has skills I can learn from, but it is somewhat uneven both politically and in terms of craft.
