Sexual Justice

“An informative, insightful, and profoundly clarifying exploration of the complex issues crucial to securing sexual justice for all. This is the #MeToo book we’ve been waiting for, to point the way forward with intelligence and compassion. It has made me feel optimistic about the future for the first time in a long time.”
—Alexandra Schwartz, staff writer at The New Yorker

“Alexandra Brodsky’s important book marks a crucial point in feminist advocacy, lucidly and bravely showing us how to embrace due process for sexual harassment victims and for the accused. ‘We can care about multiple things at once. We must,’ she boldly tells us. Brodsky’s vision is vital and necessary as we move into future phases of the fight for accountability, fairness, and equality.”
—Jeannie Suk Gersen, professor, Harvard Law School

“Sexual Justice is an essential intervention in a conversation that too often gets clouded by biases, assumptions, and myths. Brodsky is a lucid, compelling, and empathetic writer, with an unwavering ethical compass and a bone-deep commitment to fairness. This isn’t just an accomplished book, but a deeply necessary one. It will be a better world for women if more people read it.”
—Moira Donegan, columnist for The Guardian

“Alexandra Brodsky is an incisive and elegant cartographer of the conflicting spheres of cultural, institutional, and criminal justice. Where there is cause for rage, she smolders, but it’s the force of her analysis that does the work. Where there is cause for hope, she offers frameworks for dialogue and progress. Sexual Justice should become a central part of national discourse around sexual harassment and assault. It is expansive and brilliant; it also, in its careful assessment of harm and the sequelae of assault, offers real support for people who have experienced these injuries. A critical contribution that shifted my understanding of my own experience and the ongoing fight for justice.”
