In 2021, Australia saw rage and revelation, as #MeToo powered an insurgency against sexism and sexual violence. From once isolated survivors to political staffers, women everywhere were refusing to keep men's secrets.
 
In this electrifying essay, Jess Hill traces the conditions that gave birth to #MeToo and tells the stories of women who - often at great personal cost - found themselves at the centre of this movement. Hill exposes the networks of backlash against them - in government, media, schools, and in our national psyche. This is a powerful essay about shame, secrecy and, most of all, a revolutionary movement for accountability.
