知晓我姓名 – Know My Name by Chanel Miller

2015年1月，斯坦福大学性侵案震惊全美。犯罪嫌疑人布罗克·特纳是一名曾参加过奥运会预选赛的游泳新星。

面对法庭的不公审判，受害者化名为埃米莉发表法庭陈述，这份陈述被认为是继《汤姆叔叔的小屋》以来美国最重要的历史文档之一。在案件影响下，加州罢免庭审法官并改变性侵立法。

她不是埃米莉，她是香奈儿·米勒，一个华裔女孩，中文名字是张小夏。

她不是符号般的受害者，而将在书写中为自己、为所有曾遭受伤痛的女孩重新获得疗愈、尊严和力量。

She was known to the world as Emily Doe when she stunned millions with a letter. Brock Turner had been sentenced to just six months in county jail after he was found sexually assaulting her on Stanford’s campus. Her victim impact statement was posted on BuzzFeed, where it instantly went viral–viewed by eleven million people within four days, it was translated globally and read on the floor of Congress; it inspired changes in California law and the recall of the judge in the case. Thousands wrote to say that she had given them the courage to share their own experiences of assault for the first time.

Now she reclaims her identity to tell her story of trauma, transcendence, and the power of words. It was the perfect case, in many ways–there were eyewitnesses, Turner ran away, physical evidence was immediately secured. But her struggles with isolation and shame during the aftermath and the trial reveal the oppression victims face in even the best-case scenarios. Her story illuminates a culture biased to protect perpetrators, indicts 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.

Know My Name will forever transform the way we think about sexual assault, challenging our beliefs about what is acceptable and speaking truth to the tumultuous reality of healing. It also introduces readers to an extraordinary writer, one whose words have already changed our world. Entwining pain, resilience, and humor, this memoir will stand as a modern classic.
