THE VOICES OF #METOO - CARLY GIESELER TASCHENBUCH

The Voices of #MeToo: From Grassroots Activism to a Viral Roar is a timely analysis of how
marginalized voices are engaged or silenced in one of the most successful social media projects
in recent history. Accessibly written  this book unravels the ideas and practices of activism
throughout the #MeToo movement from its inception to its current viral moment. The movement
went viral with a tweet from Alyssa Milano after the avalanche of sexual harassment and assault
allegations against movie mogul Harvey Weinstein. The hashtag  however  got its start from
African-American  grassroots activist Tarana Burke a decade earlier. Taking this as her
starting place  Gieseler focuses on the marginalized communities that are often ignored once a
movement goes mainstream. With chapters on black female activism  the LGBTQ+ community and
disability  toxic masculinity  and international responses  The Voices of #MeToo issues a call
for all movements to become more inclusive as they seek empowerment and resistance against
oppressive and abusive forces. Perhaps in exploring issues of social justice through an
intersectional lens  we may all begin to hear and amplify the voices that are often silenced in
the louder  viral roar.
