The book Sexual Justice clears up common misunderstandings about sexual harassment, traces the forgotten histories that underlie our current predicament, and illuminates the way to a more just world.

I very much appreciate being gifted this copy of Sexual Justice, and the opportunity to read & review it. Thanks to the publisher.

A start to a great book and discussion on the topic, but not fully fleshed out. Perhaps a bit academic for the general public, but that may not have been the audience. An important read, but not the end all.

This audiobook was amazing. The narration was beautiful.

I went into this book expecting it to be very heavy, and yes some parts of it very much were; however, the author did a phenomenal job of focusing on disseminating information and awareness so that the reader can learn about the issues and laws at hand, and the support systems that are in place and those that are lacking for individuals involved in sexual assault. Interestingly enough, the author went on to discuss the rights of those accused of committing the verbal or physical assault, both accused and convicted, and this was a very different and eye-opening approach that after hearing I think is important. She also discussed how law enforcement continues to fail victims and continues to discuss current legislation that's been passed. She also talked about key issues surrounding sexual justice including race, gender orientation, sexual preferences, and other factors that play a factor in our society.

She did this in a wonderful way without delving too much into the details of actual assault cases, thus mitigating triggers. Having said that if you have ever been in a similar circumstance, or know someone that has please tread very lightly. The entire book can be very triggering and cause PTSD in certain individuals, especially those who do not have access to support, so please keep that in mind before you dive into the book.

Thank you to @netgalley and @macmillan for my gifted copy in exchange for my honest review!

The #MeToo movement set off a wave of sexual harassment victims coming forward with countless stories of abuse, lack of consequences for their attackers, and demand for societal change. The new book Social Justice is available in audiobook form, but is both a difficult and important listen.  This audiobook asks listeners to come together despite a sometimes highly polarized debate between those who fear the conversations between victims and the accused.

Author Alexandra Brodsky works to help show the way for schools, businesses, and other major institutions to act on sexual harassment in a way that is fair and just. The book discusses schools who often disregards valid complaints, how sometimes a civil court case does more than a criminal one, and how to get fair proceedings for both parties making their case. 

Sexual Justice does a lot to examine some common misunderstanding about sexual harassment and assault. It looks at the difficult history of finding due process . 

Sexual Justice is available now from Macmillan Audio.

Normally, I try my best to give long, involved, well thought out reviews to books I receive on Netgalley. I feel like that's only fair. If a publisher is willing to grant me free access to one of its books, I feel like I owe it to them to give a lengthy, well-written review, regardless of whether the review is positive or negative.

I'm not going to do that with this book.

I'm going to see that it is an ESSENTIAL read for anyone classified as a homo sapien and leave it at that. I don't care if you are a man, woman, non-binary, gay, straight, or bisexual. I don't care if you're something beyond a liberal democrat or the most conservative of all conservative republicans.

It doesn't matter which side of the argument you are on when it comes to sexual harassment and assault (although how you could be on any other side than the "justice for victims" side is beyond me). If you are a human being with working (or non-working, for that matter) genitals, you need to read this book.

I will be recommending it to everyone. It's truly one of the best, most well-written books on the subject of sexual assault reform I've ever read. And while you can tell the author is obviously on the side of victim's rights, she presents the material in as non-biased a way as I think is possible on the subject. It's truly a must read for everyone.

And I guess I lied. While I didn't give as long of a review as usual, I didn't leave it at "essential reading" and nothing more either. Still. Phenomenal book. I highly recommend it to LITERALLY anyone, but especially to parents with young men OR women growing up in today's world.

I cannot say enough good things about this book. As an activist against sexual assault I found so many of the arguments presented here compelling. There is a clear emphasis on fairness in this book, while at the same time providing safeguards for victims of sexual assault (as it should be). I definitely recommend this to anyone else interested in learner more about how to make the adjudication process specifically on college campuses more just and fair.
