Our whole life is a #MeToo
This is a real story. A voice that rises to break the silence.
“Brave Like You” is an autobiographical account that is straightforward and deeply moving. Iolanda Batallé Prats takes a fresh look at her life to unearth the abuse, harassment, fear and normalised violence she has suffered simply because she is a woman. But it is also a book of love, resistance and sisterhood among women. It is a biographical #MeToo. An urgent call to review one’s own stories and to recognise the wounds of silence.
It speaks of fear, yes, but also of courage. It speaks of shame, but to turn it around. It speaks of silence… to make it explode. With powerful, intimate and implacable writing, Batallé denounces invisible and visceral violence and invites us to recover the word, intuition and freedom.
