A las chicas de todo el mundo. Estoy con vosotras. Luche durante anos por vosotras. Nunca dejeis de luchar. Yo os creo. -Chanel Miller

La historia de Chanel Miller cambio el mundo para siempre. En 2016, Brock Turner, de diecinueve anos, la violo en el campus de Stanford. Desperto confusa en el hospital, no recordaba nada. Lo que venia ahora era una reconstruccion de los hechos lenta y penosa, la lucha contra las evidentes fisuras en la seguridad de los campus universitarios y uno de los juicios mas vergonzosos de la historia de EE.UU., donde Miller tuvo que responder a preguntas como estas: "?Que llevabas puesto? ?Cuando bebiste? ?Vas en serio con tu novio? ?Eres sexualmente activa con el? ?Le pondrias los cuernos?"

Un ano y medio despues de la agresion, Turner fue sentenciado a tan solo seis meses de carcel. La declaracion de Miller en el juicio, que ella misma publico al dia siguiente, fue leida por once millones de personas en cuatro dias, y provoco la indignacion de un pais y la reaccion internacional.

Durante todo ese tiempo ella fue Emily Doe, el pseudonimo que suele usarse para proteger el anonimato de las victimas. Pero cuatro anos despues decidio reivindicar su historia, y con ella su nombre. Tengo un nombre son unas memorias intimas y profundamente conmovedoras, que dejan en evidencia a un sistema que se retuerce de cuantas maneras conoce para defender a los agresores sexuales, que falla a las victimas. Una historia que reclama justicia, sobre todo, pero tambien el derecho a seguir viviendo.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Universally acclaimed, rapturously reviewed, winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award for autobiography, and an instant New York Times bestseller, Chanel Millers breathtaking memoir "gives readers the privilege of knowing her not just as Emily Doe, but as Chanel Miller the writer, the artist, the survivor, the fighter" (The Wrap).

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 Stanfords 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.
