Know My Name

During the trial of Brock Turner, Chanel Miller was known as Emily Doe, “the unconscious intoxicated woman” Turner attacked on Stanford’s campus. Now, in this stunning and unapologetic memoir, Miller owns her experience as a sexual assault victim and honors her pain. Know My Name is an emotional and unflinching look into the trauma of sexual assault and the upsetting treatment survivors face in the court system. It is also beautifully written, humanizing, and empowering. Through her own telling, Miller reveals herself to be a whole person, one who is not easily defined by this terrible thing that happened to her. Her story is a powerful reckoning.

“You took away my worth, my privacy, my energy, my time, my safety, my intimacy, my confidence, my own voice, until today.”
