An accessible and thorough interrogation of the media, rape culture, and MeToo. The book does a fantastic job of detailing rape culture (as it is conceived by many feminist theorists and activists) as well as outlining, in a really impressive way, the complexity of the MeToo movement. Catherine Rottenberg, University of Nottingham Laying out with great clarity what needs to be done to remove rape culture and its residue from the media, this insightful, thoughtful, and generative volume demonstrates why this eradication is a social justice issue that should matter to all. Barbie Zelizer, Raymond Williams Professor of Communication, University of Pennsylvania Durham moves our understanding of rape culture into the twenty-first century with this compelling examination of the MeToo movement.
