This is a deeply moving and important read. The only reason I gave it four stars instead of five was because it became repetitive in reading out women's traumatic stories.
I understand this is part of the book -to challenge us to see the horrors that women face and blame the patriachy, not ourselves. However, the anger and upset I felt was so much that it was almost not possible to finish the book!
The ending chapter was the most important and the most inspiring. The messages here could have been moved forward - to give us hope and power to read on.
Ultimately though, I cannot stress enough how incredibly important this book is - it should be read by teachers, police officers, politicians, and everyone else who can make a difference.

A must read for all.
Phenomenally researched and compiled. A damning and infuriating and upsetting and empowering analysis of women's experience in the UK.
Its insights into police misogyny, sexual assault, the criminal justice system, the media and the intersectionality of all these experiences are striking in their clarity.
