Not That Bad: Dispatches from Rape Culture

Not That Bad is a powerful and thought-provoking anthology that tackles the complex and often difficult topic of sexual harassment and abuse.

Edited by cultural critic and bestselling author Roxane Gay, this collection brings together original and previously published pieces that explore the various experiences of women in a world where they are constantly subjected to harassment, violence, and aggression. With contributions from a diverse range of narrators, including well-known actors, writers, and experts, as well as new voices being published for the first time, Not That Bad covers a wide range of topics and experiences, from the rape epidemic embedded in the refugee crisis to first-person accounts of child molestation and street harassment. Throughout the book, the narrators offer deeply personal and unflinchingly honest accounts of their experiences, reflecting the world we live in and offering a call to arms insisting that "not that bad" must no longer be good enough.

Whether you're a survivor of sexual harassment or abuse, or simply someone who wants to understand the experiences of those around you, Not That Bad is an essential read that will leave you with a newfound appreciation for the strength and resilience of women everywhere.
