100 Times
100 Times: A Memoir of Sexism | Chavisa Woods
1 post | 2 read | 4 to read
Shirley Jackson Award-winning author and three-time Lambda Finalist, Chavisa Woods presents one hundred personal stories of sexism, harassment, discrimination, and assault. Recounting her experiences with sexist discrimination, sexual harassment, and sexual violencebeginning in childhood, through the presentWoods lays out clear and unflinching personal vignettes that build in intensity as the number of times grows. Individually, and especially taken as a whole, these stories amount to powerful proof that sexual violence and discrimination are never just one-time occurrences, but part of a constant battle all women face every day. In these extraordinary pages, sexual violence and sexist discrimination occur regardless of age, in all spheres of society, in rural and urban areas alike, in the US and abroad, from Woods' youth through adulthood. Demonstrating how often people are conditioned to endure sexism and harassment, and how thoroughly men feel entitled to womens spaces and bodies, 100 Times forces the reader to witness the myriad ways in which sexism and misogyny continuously shape womens lives, and are built-in facets of our society.

Chavisa Woods tells 100 stories of harassment, discrimination, and sexual assault from her own life (age 5 - now) to show the pervasive nature of these incidents in an average woman's life. It didn't matter if she was in a Midwestern small town or New York City, drunk or sober, walking alone at night or at her place of employment. I think all women could write their own collection. I think it should be required reading. ⤵️

ReadingEnvy I had a copy from Seven stories press and it came out June 25. I can also recommend her collection of short stories - 5y
Billypar I love the title of that story collection, and the description characterizing her writing as Flannery O'Connor mixed with Kelly Link also sounds really promising! 5y
ReadingEnvy @Billypar it's a lot of fun! 5y
