The Anatomy of Silence is a collection of voices speaking out loud - often for the first time - about what it means to stay silent, to be silenced, and to break the silence that surrounds sexual violence. About how we are all complicit in creating that silence. It offers an unflinching account of how a culture of shame perpetuates a culture of violence against our bodies--and reflects on what it would take to create a world in which that silence - once broken - stays broken.Trade Review"A book that turns whispers into roars, The Anatomy of Silence isn't just an amplifier, but asks serious questions of where society fails victims of sexual abuse on every level, leaving the question - what part are you playing?" - Scott Wilson, The Fountain --The Fountain "Raw... profoundly introspective...
