Overview

A thoroughly researched and deeply personal examination of how we unintentionally condone workplace abuse in a post-#MeToo world and what we can do to affect positive change.When Reah Bravo was hired to work on the Charlie Rose show, the open secret of Rose's behavior toward women didn't deter her from pursuing a position she felt could launch her career in broadcast journalism. She believed herself more than capable of handling any unprofessional behavior that might come her way. But she soon learned a devastating truth: no one can accurately predict how they will respond in an abusive situation until they are in it. In a post-#MeToo world, where many corporations mandate trainings to prevent misconduct, how do abusers continue to victimize their colleagues? When we live in a society where many feminist ideals are mainstream and women make up a significant percentage of the workforce, why is gender harassment more prevalent than ever? Weaving her own experiences with insights from experts and other survivors, Bravo eloquently reveals the psychological and cultural forces that make us all enablers of a sexist and dangerous status quo. Combining the latest in-depth research and enlightening commentary, Complicit shines a light on the prevalence of professional misconduct and charts an accessible path towards real positive change.

Reah Bravo was a corporate speechwriter based in both Milan and New York, a career she began in 2008. She eventually joined the nearly half of all sexually harassed women in America who wind up leaving their jobs. Prior to that, she worked for the PBS program Charlie Rose, where she produced political and other news segments. She has her master's degree in international affairs from Columbia University, and served as a Fulbright Fellow in Bahrain. Bravo currently lives in Belgium, where she was a stay-at-home mom to two sons while writing Complicit. She credits the country's family-friendly social policies for making possible what would have been far more difficult in the United States: the publication of her first book.
