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
