The riveting, powerful memoir of the woman whose statement to Brock Turner

gave voice to millions of survivors



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.
