Praise for Tsunami “Tsunami is a shock to the system, a seismic disturbance unsettling our narratives about the injustices women endure and the structures that enable them. Through these essays which scream against mass murder of women, challenge the erasure of indigenous struggle, and morph the oppressive norms hidden in our language, an alternate reality is already born.” —Miriam Toews, author of Women Talking
