`Unflinching and nuanced... Her structure is disruptive and powerful for it-never letting us forget that there is a person who suffers, a body that gets broken. And, when a body is violated, all of society is at risk. This book could not be more timely, nor could there be a better thinker-herself a survivor-to write it. If the #MeToo campaign is to have any lasting impact for change in women's circumstances across the world, it will be because of books such as this' - Preti Taneja; 'What We Talk About When We Talk About Rape is brilliant, frank, empowering, and urgently necessary. Sohaila Abdulali has created a powerful tool for examining rape culture and language on the individual, societal and global level that everyone can benefit from reading.' - Jill Soloway; 'What We Talk About When We Talk About Rape is a public square for those who know a lot about rape, and for those who know little. It is a safe space for survivors, and a broad-minded attempt to open the conversation to everyone. It's a global book, relevant in refugee camps and American suburbs.' - Sarah McNally
