Beskrivning
This book examines a decade of rape memoirs produced by English-speaking women around the emergence of #MeToo as a global phenomenon. It argues that their auto/biographical praxis opened a crack in the long-standing wall of silence that the 2017 online campaign and its echoes, still resonating today, are systematically eroding. Jana Leo, Joanna Connors, Roxane Gay, Myriam Gurba, Chanel Miller, Jeannie Vanasco, Eve Ensler, Thordis Elva, and other survivors helped set and reaffirm the bases for the current zeitgeist around sexual violence, characterized by a tsunami of stories in circulation and a growing audience that is more ready than ever to listen to the victims ethically and empathically. This volume offers an in-depth analysis of a literary corpus that contributes to the conversation about the narrative politics of the fourth wave of feminism and some of its key preoccupations, such as consent, accountability, and justice. Of particular value for academics and activists working on/against sexual violence, as well as for life writing and gender studies scholars, it can also be useful to specialists in the fields of ethics, affect theory, trauma studies, memory studies, cultural studies, phenomenology, victimology, or ethnic and minority studies.

"Fernandez-Morales’s wealth of knowledge and experience on the matter come across in every page, alongside her empathy, care for the topic . . . [The book] succeeds in its goals and constitutes an important contribution to the study of sexual violence that is sure to be useful to researchers of life writing and gender studies, among its many other fields of interests."--Paula Rustarazo Garzón, AEDEAN Nexus"Fernández-Morales was already consolidated as a highly respected voice in the Spanish panorama for the study of gender and feminism, and with this volume she reinforces her position and makes a tremendously valuable contribution to the study of Me Too and feminist auto/biography. Her insights are not only valuable in regard to life writing studies, but also to the theoretical developments on fourth-wave feminism, exploring some of its defining tenets in the monograph, and still maintaining that the work is very much not over."--Claudia García Pajín, Journal of Feminist, Gender and Women Studies, 20"In its thorough tracing of history, attention to the present, and orientation toward future action, Rape Narratives that Paved the Way for #MeToo (2026) emerges as a necessary cultural, academic, and feminist proposal, offering tools not only to understand sexual violence, but also to resist it."--Lena Elipe Gutiérrez, ATLÁNTICAS – Revista Internacional de Estudios Feministas
