About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

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 Stanford's campus. Her victim impact statement was posted on Buzzfeed, where it instantly went viral - viewed by 11 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 listeners to an extraordinary writer, one whose words have already changed our world. Entwining pain, resilience, and humour, this memoir will stand as a modern classic.

Chanel Miller has written her own story in a way that’s brave, true, cuts to the heart of things and is the audio equivalent of un-put-down-able. Just like her. Thank you Chanel.

Stunning, raw, tender, transformative. Chanel is a shining star and I genuinely feel more healed, open, and wise after listening to this book. Absolutely amazing.

This is a beautifully written, incredibly powerful book, and I hope as many people as possible read it. A difficult read in terms of the subject matter - it's painfully, viscerally honest - but also very reflective and thought-provoking. Miller reflects on the ordeal the legal system puts sexual assault victims through, but also on white male privilege and entitlement - she wonders how differently Brock Turner would have been treated had he been a Latino kitchen worker, and compares how she had to remain composed when questioned about her drinking to how Brett Kavanaugh reacted. While being brutally honest and realistic, it's also remarkably optimistic and positive. I sincerely hope this is the start of a successful writing career for her.

Incredibly powerful read
