“Meg Stone debunks the myths about sexual assault with humor, passion and piles of data. This is an essential book for anyone who plans to walk up stairs, wear a ponytail and feel empowered.” —Pagan Kennedy, author of The Secret History of the Rape Kit “Finally, a book that empowers rather than weakens, a book that tells women we can and should expect more.
