She was known to the world as Emily Doe when she stunned millions with a letter. Brock Turner had been sentenced to just six months in county jail after he was found sexually assaulting her on Stanford's campus. Her victim impact statement was posted on BuzzFeed, where it instantly went viral--viewed by eleven million people within four days, it was translated globally and read on the floor of Congress; it inspired changes in California law and the recall of the judge in the case. Thousands wrote to say that she had given them the courage to share their own experiences of assault for the first time.
Now she reclaims her identity to tell her story of trauma, transcendence, and the power of words. It was the perfect case, in many ways--there were eyewitnesses, Turner ran away, physical evidence was immediately secured. But her struggles with isolation and shame during the aftermath and the trial reveal the oppression victims face in even the best-case scenarios. Her story illuminates a culture biased to protect perpetrators, indicts a criminal justice system designed to fail the most vulnerable, and, ultimately, shines with the courage required to move through suffering and live a full and beautiful life.
Know My Name will forever transform the way we think about sexual assault, challenging our beliefs about what is acceptable and speaking truth to the tumultuous reality of healing. It also introduces readers to an extraordinary writer, one whose words have already changed our world. Entwining pain, resilience, and humor, this memoir will stand as a modern classic.

评分统计学里 p 值的起源其实是法律上的定罪。这一情境下,其含义为:在当前已有的证据下,若判定被告有罪,错判的概率。用数学语言表达:原假设为被告无罪,否定原假设而实际上原假设为真的概率即为 p 值。因为错判一个无辜的人是一件很严重的、大家都不想看到的事情,所以通常 p ...
评分勇敢。感谢Chanel写下这些真诚的文字,记录了性侵案发生后内心最隐秘的痛苦、以及自己和家人经历的令人心碎的际遇。在案件后发生的几年时间,这个女孩遭受心里创伤、媒体、法律程序轮番碾压,虽然早已疲惫不堪,但却从未放弃过反抗。几年的沉淀后,她用这些带着力量和光的文字...

女孩,你有任何人都夺不走的力量。
评分An incredibly powerful and eloquent voice of a survivor. I particularly loved the latter half, where I nearly teared up at multiple points. The world needs changing.
评分整个故事里最恶心的地方莫过于对方的辩护律师采取的那种无耻的手段,不断地向作者提出一些精心设计好的但和整个事件无关的问题,比如“在被强奸的那个晚上你吃晚餐了吗?吃的是什么?” 用这种无意义的问题来消耗受害者的精力,让她不停地回想那场痛苦经历,并且让她为自己当时的无意识没有知觉从而记不起来事情感到愧疚。不要小看这些看似无意义的问题,这些问题会一直留在受害者的内心的,迫使她记住日后自己所做的一切动作,以防将来在法庭上再次被问。
评分Can only imagine the exhaustion for other victims when 2 witnesses & the rapist arrested on site couldn't stop her from such dread/humiliation. I hope there’s peace for all victims at the end of the tunnel. The caltrain track w/ 24-7 guard, the Ikea parking lot, the road she jogged, the restaurant they went two days after. it hits too close to home
评分I see you. I hear you. I’m with you.
