The Right Amount of Panic by Fiona Vera-Gray
With real-life accounts of womens experiences, and based on the authors original research, this book challenges the culture of victim-blaming and shows how much energy women put into avoiding sexual violence in public spaces.
"This is a condensed version of a large research study, intended for a wider audience than the in depth researchIt won't come as any shock to most women who experience life through a lens of 'just surviving' but it should be able to open eyes and minds to how society works and how structures actively work against women in many instances. A key read for anyone interested in gender politics, feminism or, for what it's worth, 'men's rights'." NetGalley
"Vera-Gray presents an accessible account of narratives showcasing the different forms of fear of sexual violence in the lives of women and girls. Importantly for audiences new to the topic of sexual violence, Vera-Gray points to the role that habituation plays in the naturalization of sexual violence in our society and suggests that limiting our freedoms in exchange for ever elusive forms of safety is for naught."
