書籍簡介

當艾米麗·多伊用一封信震驚了千百萬人時，全世界都知道她的名字。布洛克·特納(Brock Turner)被發現在斯坦福大學校園性侵她，他僅被判在縣監獄服刑6個月。她的受害者影響聲明被髮布在BuzzFeed網站上，迅速走紅——四天內就被1100萬人觀看，並被翻譯成全球語言，在國會宣讀;它促使加州法律發生了變化，並召回了該案中的法官。成千上萬的人寫信説，她給了他們勇氣，讓他們第一次分享自己遭受攻擊的經歷。

現在，她重新找回了自己的身份，開始講述她的創傷、超越和語言力量的故事。從很多方面來説，這是一個完美的案例——有目擊者，特納逃跑了，物證立即得到了保護。但她在善後和審判期間與孤獨和羞恥的鬥爭揭示了即使在最好的情況下受害者也要面對的壓迫。她的故事揭示了一種偏袒於保護犯罪者的文化，控訴了一種旨在讓最弱勢羣體失敗的刑事司法制度，並最終彰顯出克服苦難、過上充實而美好生活所需的勇氣。

《知曉我姓名》將永遠改變我們對性侵犯的看法，挑戰我們對什麼是可接受的信念，向混亂的治癒現實説出真相。它還向讀者介紹了一個非凡的作家，他的文字已經改變了我們的世界。痛苦、堅韌和幽默交織在一起，這本回憶錄將成為現代經典。

She was known to the world as Emily Doe when she stunned millions with a letter. Brock Turner had been sentenced to just six months in county jail after he was found sexually assaulting her on Stanford's campus. Her victim impact statement was posted on BuzzFeed, where it instantly went viral--viewed by eleven million people within four days, it was translated globally and read on the floor of Congress; it inspired changes in California law and the recall of the judge in the case. Thousands wrote to say that she had given them the courage to share their own experiences of assault for the first time.

Now she reclaims her identity to tell her story of trauma, transcendence, and the power of words. It was the perfect case, in many ways--there were eyewitnesses, Turner ran away, physical evidence was immediately secured. But her struggles with isolation and shame during the aftermath and the trial reveal the oppression victims face in even the best-case scenarios. Her story illuminates a culture biased to protect perpetrators, indicts a criminal justice system designed to fail the most vulnerable, and, ultimately, shines with the courage required to move through suffering and live a full and beautiful life.

Know My Name will forever transform the way we think about sexual assault, challenging our beliefs about what is acceptable and speaking truth to the tumultuous reality of healing. It also introduces readers to an extraordinary writer, one whose words have already changed our world. Entwining pain, resilience, and humor, this memoir will stand as a modern classic.
