Believing

To say that 'Believing' is a sobering read is a gobsmacking understatement...Hill deftly sweeps aside the intricate web of denial, bias and institutional failures to show not only the causes of gender-based violence in America, but also their solutions. Hers is a brave, brazenly intelligent and ultimately hopeful womanifesto. -San Francisco Chronicle With scholarly sophistication, Hill calls out the failings of our politicians, courts, places of work and home life. . . . Hill is uniquely equipped to offer a combined scholarly and personal perspective on this subject. -Associated Press Anita Hill's courage on screen awakened a nation to gender violence. Now, in the pages of Believing, she shows each of us how to be courageous, too. -Gloria Steinem Incisive and impassioned . . . Hill's inspiring personal history, eloquently constructed arguments, and dogged persistence in shining a light on the topic make this an essential look at the fight against misogyny. -Publishers Weekly *starred and boxed review* Hill's new book defies boundaries by bringing together elements of memoir with law, social analysis, and polemic-delivered with the precision of a powerful lawyer and the vulnerability of someone who became a target of merciless media scrutiny after testifying to being sexually harassed by now-Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas . . . With searing insight, Hill shows how much and how little things have changed since 1991. Her book gives hope, inspires activism, and discourages complacency. -Library Journal *starred review* A powerful argument that ending gender violence is an attainable goal, if only we apply ourselves to the work. -Kirkus Reviews
