My Body Keeps Your Secrets : Dispatches on Shame and Reclamation by Lucia Osborne-Crowley

Description

From Lucia Osborne-Crowley, author of I Choose Elena, comes an immersive polyphonic memoir exploring the intricacies of abuse, trauma, and shame. Through the voices of women, trans and non-binary people around the world and her own deeply moving testimony, Lucia speaks of vulnerability and acceptance, and the reclaiming of ourselves in a world that repeatedly asks us to carry the weight of the shame of the atrocities committed against us. Widely researched and boldly argued, My Body Keeps Your Secrets reveals the secrets a body keeps – the trauma that can rewrite our biology, our relationship with sex, and how we connect with others, establishing Lucia’s credentials as a key intersectional feminist thinker of a new generation.
