You Too?
You Too? | Janet Gurtler
1 post | 2 read
A timely and heartfelt collection of essays inspired by the #MeToo movement, edited by acclaimed author Janet Gurtler. Featuring Beth Revis, Mackenzi Lee, Ellen Hopkins, Saundra Mitchell, Jennifer Brown, Cheryl Rainfield and many more. When #MeToo went viral, Janet Gurtler was among the millions of people who began to reflect on her past experiences. Things she had reluctantly accepted—male classmates groping her at recess, harassment at work—came back to her in startling clarity. She needed teens to know what she had not: that no young person should be subject to sexual assault, or made to feel unsafe, less than or degraded. You Too? was born out of that need. By turns thoughtful and explosive, these personal stories encompass a wide range of experiences and serve as a reminder to readers that they, too, have a voice worthy of being heard—and that only by listening and working together can we create change.

A part of me wishes I could say this was eye opening, but the types of incidents here are too normal for any grown woman to say that. I don't say that against the book but for it. You Too? is a book about the indignities that we suffer on the way sexual assault, though sexual assault is included in some stories too. Women should read this to know they are in no way alone. Men should read this to know that this is in no way an isolated problem.
