Believing: Our Thirty-Year Journey to End Gender Violence, by Anita Hill
4.0
Being an older woman and a feminist i remember Anita Hill courageous testimony about Clarence Thomas who was 30 y ago trying to get on as a Supreme Court justice and she had evidence to the contrary that he was a sexual harasser and abuser when Anita worked for him. Her testimony was disregarded and he won. Nothing can remove him while he lives. He was the first of two men vying for a seat and accused by women and each time the man is believed as innocent as a victim and the women were accused of something neither deserved. For these two women Anita Hill and Dr Ford they were walking into a swampland of hatred and protection of male supremacy and right for men to treat women however it behooves them to do to retain their places of power
This writing by Dr Anita Hill is her expression of and need to alter the condition here called gender violence.
It is to this reader who is a woman and has been affected by gender violence a tragedy that in many ways nothing has changed. I admire Anita Hill and what is so remarkable is that she is able to move on from what happened in 1995.. yet she is unwilling to back maintaining the status quo. And also as a black woman she is seeking awareness and change of systemic racism....
