520    "From the woman who gave the landmark testimony against 
       Clarence Thomas as a sexual menace, a new manifesto about 
       the origins and course of gender violence in our society; 
       a combination of memoir, personal accounts, law, and 
       social analysis, and a powerful call to arms from one of 
       our most prominent and poised survivors. In 1991, Anita 
       Hill began something that's still unfinished work. The 
       issues of gender violence, touching on sex, race, age, and
       power, are as urgent today as they were when she first 
       testified. Believing is a story of America's three decades
       long reckoning with gender violence, one that offers 
       insights into its roots, and paths to creating dialogue 
       and substantive change. It is a call to action that offers
       guidance based on what this brave, committed fighter has 
       learned from a lifetime of advocacy and her search for 
       solutions to a problem that is still tearing America 
       apart. We once thought gender-based violence--from casual 
       harassment to rape and murder--was an individual problem 
       that affected a few; we now know it's cultural and endemic,
       and happens to our acquaintances, colleagues, friends and 
       family members, and it can be physical, emotional and 
       verbal. Women of color experience sexual harassment at 
       higher rates than White women. Street harassment is 
       ubiquitous and can escalate to violence. Transgender and 
       nonbinary people are particularly vulnerable. Anita Hill 
       draws on her years as a teacher, legal scholar, and 
       advocate, and on the experiences of the thousands of 
       individuals who have told her their stories, to trace the 
       pipeline of behavior that follows individuals from place 
       to place: from home to school to work and back home. In 
       measured, clear, blunt terms, she demonstrates the impact 
       it has on every aspect of our lives, including our 
       physical and mental wellbeing, housing stability, 
       political participation, economy and community safety, and
       how our descriptive language undermines progress toward 
       solutions. And she is uncompromising in her demands that 
       our laws and our leaders must address the issue concretely
       and immediately"--|cProvided by publisher.
