Whatever Gets You Through Is a searing collection of testimonies from sexual assault survivors
Edited by Stacey May Fowles and Jen Sookfong Lee | Greystone Books There is a war being waged constantly — a war against women. Whatever Gets You Through is a dispatch from the front lines.
In B.C., there are over 1,000 sexual assaults every week. Over half of B.C. women over 16 have experienced physical or sexual violence, primarily at the hands of men. And assaults are often lethal. Indigenous women and girls, as the national inquiry has taught us, are particularly vulnerable to the murderous violence that fuses sexism and racism.
The editors of this important book, Stacey May Fowles and Jen Sookfong Lee, have chosen a dozen voices for this survivors’ chorus. Each of these voices is unique, and none seem tempted by the saccharine truisms of pop psychology or TV versions of “redemptive recovery.” They all tell their own difficult truths in memorable language.
