Stop Street Harassment

Making Public Spaces Safe and Welcoming

Two New Books

By

Dr. Fiona Vera-Gray has a new book about street harassment out called The Right Amount of Panic: How Women Trade Freedom for Safety. I got to offer a review for the jacket back: “By reinterpreting women’s daily safety strategies as successful forms of resistance, this book presents fresh ideas for sexual violence prevention.”

Soraya Chemaly, a long-time supporter of SSH, has a new book out tomorrow called Rage Becomes Her, and in one chapter (“Smile, Baby”) she writes about street harassment. It is a book we all need to understand our anger and “transform it into meaningful change.” #RageBecomesHer
