This book explores the nuances and impacts of how different societies around the world speak about rape in public discourse. Parts were difficult to get through (at one point I had to put it aside for a few weeks), not because they were poorly written, but because the content was, by its very nature, triggering at points. That being said, I am very glad I got through it. It was scathing, heartbreaking, and hopeful all at once. Changing the culture surrounding rape is crucial to reducing or, if you're a "mad dreamer" like Abdulali, eliminating it. Anyone who feels able to do so should read this book.
