#MeToomovement

True story: I was leaving my apartment building to go for a walk and said hello to a neighbor who was sitting in the lobby opening mail and deliveries. She asked “Do you read?”
“Oh, yes!” I replied.
“Well, here- I want to give this book to you. I just got it from Amazon.”
“That‘s so kind, but….”
“ I can‘t read it.” She said, and pointed to her eyes. “I‘m going to listen to the audiobook.”
She bought it to give away; refused my money.

Lesliereads (Continued) I learned that my neighbor‘s name is Betty and she is 85 years old. She bought the book to support Tarana Burke‘s continued work. A pick for me even though the last 3rd of the book felt rushed and less carefully edited than the first part. #TaranaBurke #MeToomovement 2y

This book mentions sexual harrassment in the workplace and the #metoomovement. I won this book from Goodreads in 2018 and I understand why I waited so long to read it because I wasn‘t in the mood to read it when I first got it and I guess I was worried I wasn‘t going to like it and I ended up not liking it very much. It‘s an intense book.

Difficult to read at times, but I think it's a vital addition to the literature and art of the #metoomovement. There was such a great diversity of stories and illustrations. The book shows how sexual abuse can differently impact each person. This book shows just how important it is to support, raise awareness, and act on behalf of the #metoomovement

This is an insightful and powerful investigative story on Harvey Weinstein, a prominent Hollywood producer who now faces criminal charges for sexual misconduct, sexual abuse and rape.

Rating: 5⭐
