Know My Name: A Memoir

Why I recommend it

Miller takes back her story from the legal and media accounts that reduced her to what happened to her. She writes with clarity, anger, and humor.

What stayed with me

The words used to describe someone matter. They can make room for a whole person or erase everything beyond the harm they experienced.

Who it’s useful for

Readers ready to engage with sexual violence, survival, and justice.

A tension or limitation

The subject is painful and explicit. It may not be the right book for every moment.
