《不良女性主義》羅珊‧蓋伊主編與撰寫導讀

 今日女性所面對的各種暴力、騷擾，第一手的直白報告書

 　　隨著#MeToo運動讓女性們勇於站出來訴說自己的遭遇，當代最知名也親民的女性思覺指標羅珊‧蓋伊Roxane Gay，將來自知名作家、新銳作者、演員、評論家，各領域女性的文字收錄成為本書──不僅是對#MeToo運動的呼應──而是揭露身為一個女性，騷擾、暴力、侵犯是以如此多樣，也如此頻繁地方式出現在日常生活中。無論是被輕視、質疑、詆毀、糟蹋或者嘲笑、羞辱、霸凌…各種有意或無意的負面對待。 

 　　本書涵蓋的主題與遭遇多元多樣，自隱身於近年難民潮中的性侵惡象，到對童年面臨性騷擾的真誠坦白，同樣的是這些文章的毫無保留與毫無退懼，讓所有讀者都能在其中瞥見自己生活裡的相似之處。是當代女性處境最真實的映照，更勇敢戳破「其實也沒那麼糟」這類安慰之詞所描繪的幻象，去尋求一個更平等而美好的未來。（文/博客來編譯）

Edited and with an introduction by Roxane Gay, the New York Times bestselling and deeply beloved author of Bad Feminist and Hunger, this anthology of first-person essays tackles rape, assault, and harassment head-on.

The Root, "28 Brilliant Books by Black Authors" * Paste, "The Best Nonfiction Books of 2018" * Vogue, "10 of the Most Anticipated Books of Spring 2018" * Harper's Bazaar, "10 New Books to Add to Your Reading List in 2018" * Elle, "21 Books We're Most Excited to Read in 2018" * Boston Globe, "25 books we can't wait to read in 2018" *Huffington Post, "60 Books We Can't Wait to Read in 2018" * Hello Giggles, "19 Books We Can't Wait to Read in 2018" * Buzzfeed, "33 Most Exciting New Books of 2018"

In this valuable and revealing anthology, cultural critic and bestselling author Roxane Gay collects original and previously published pieces that address what it means to live in a world where women have to measure the harassment, violence, and aggression they face, and where they are "routinely second-guessed, blown off, discredited, denigrated, besmirched, belittled, patronized, mocked, shamed, gaslit, insulted, bullied" for speaking out. Contributions include essays from established and up-and-coming writers, performers, and critics, including actors Ally Sheedy and Gabrielle Union and writers Amy Jo Burns, Lyz Lenz, and Claire Schwartz. Covering a wide range of topics and experiences, from an exploration of the rape epidemic embedded in the refugee crisis to first-person accounts of child molestation, this collection is often deeply personal and is always unflinchingly honest. Like Rebecca Solnit's Men Explain Things to Me, Not That Bad will resonate with every reader, saying "something in totality that we cannot say alone."

Searing and heartbreakingly candid, this provocative collection both reflects the world we live in and offers a call to arms insisting that "not that bad" must no longer be good enough.
