Shirley Jackson Award-winning author and three-time Lambda
Finalist, Chavisa Woods presents one hundred personal stories of
sexism, harassment, discrimination, and assault.
Recounting her experiences with sexist discrimination, sexual
harassment, and sexual violence—beginning in childhood, through the
present—Woods lays out clear and unflinching personal vignettes
that build in intensity as the number of times grows. Individually,
and especially taken as a whole, these stories amount to powerful
proof that sexual violence and discrimination are never just one-time
occurrences, but part of a constant battle all women face every day.
In these
extraordinary pages, sexual violence and sexist discrimination occur
regardless of age, in all spheres of society, in rural and urban
areas alike, in the US and abroad, from Woods' youth through
adulthood. Demonstrating how often people are conditioned to endure
sexism and harassment, and how thoroughly men feel entitled to
women’s spaces and bodies, 100 Times forces the reader to
witness the myriad ways in which sexism and misogyny continuously
shape women’s lives, and are built-in facets of our society.
