Believing is a story of America's three decades long reckoning with gender violence, offering insights into its roots, and paths to creating change. We once thought gender-based violence - from casual harassment to rape and murder - was an individual problem that affected a few; we now know it's cultural and endemic. Here Anita Hill draws on her years as a teacher, legal scholar, and advocate, to demonstrate the impact it has on every aspect of our lives. And she is uncompromising in her demands that our laws and our leaders must address the issue concretely and immediately. From the woman who gave the landmark testimony against Clarence Thomas as a sexual menace, a new manifesto about the origins and course of gender violence in our society; a combination of memoir, personal accounts, law, and social analysis, and a powerful call to arms from one of our most prominent and poised survivors.
