RaveMom Egg ReviewThis book is an act of resistance against the institutional violence of Mexico and the US, and shines a light on the policies that make poor Mexican bodies, especially female bodies, disposable ... Rivera Garza’s pen is unflinching in recounting the atrocities committed against civilians ... I read this book slowly, with more breaks between essays than I usually need, but the subject matter is necessarily brutal, and witnessing it, even vicariously, was harrowing ... I often felt helpless reading this book, yet I understood the power of Rivera Garza’s words and the necessity for me, a white American woman, to read them and not look away ... Rivera Garza’s prose is elegant and scathing as she takes the reader through the #MeToo movement in Mexico: #RopaSucia (dirty laundry) and #MiPrimerAcoso (#MyFirstAssault).
