“I remember reading her victim statement in the article and tearing up because of her words.”
Years ago, I randomly came across a news article about Chanel Miller’s case, the Stanford case. I remember reading her victim statement in the article and tearing up because of her words. This memoir took the image of this woman and shaped her into a human being. It’s Chanel defining her story as a victim. This memoir puts you, to as close of a degree of extent possible, in the victim's shoes. everything is highlighted. it gave me chills. It is an experience full of hurt. What I’ll always find beautiful is the light Chanel still managed to see. the way there’s reason to keep going. Know my Name was the first memoir & nonfiction book I’ve ever read, and it will always remain one of the best. Chanel is a great writer, she puts the female experience into the realest words, and she has made a deeply touching memoir.

Chanel Miller's story changed our world forever. In 2016 Brock Turner was sentenced to just six months in jail after he was caught sexually assaulting her on Stanford's campus. His light sentencing, and Chanel's victim impact statement, which was read by eleven million people in four days, sparked international outrage and action. Know My Name is an intimate, profoundly moving memoir that exposes a patriarchal culture biased to protect perpetrators, 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. Entwining pain, resilience, and humour, this breath-taking memoir will stand as a modern classic.
