I was drawn to read this story after hearing about Chanel through social media. She has crafted a powerful and real memoir that drew light to all that she experienced. This book angered me as I read it, and rightfully so. It draws to…

It's just sickening how sexual assault victims are treated - the burden of proof (even if there are witnesses), the total mortification of a rape kit, and then being on the stand, telling the world what happened to you. Chanel Wilson…

What an amazing memoir! Chanel Miller takes a trauma and while she doesn't turn it around, she makes everyone know how she feels and the effect it's had on her life and relationships. The unfairness of the sentence for Brock Tanner made…

I remember reading about this case when it was going to trial. I listed to the audio book of this memoir. The opportunity to hear Ms. Miller speak her truth, and hear her tell the story is a must hear/read for everyone. I hope that…

What happened to Chanel Miller is terrible! It will leave that trauma in her life forever, and it so sad the perpetrator did not receive a harsher and more just punishment and acknowledge the long term damage he has done. Hence, the…

Chanel Miller's telling of her experience of sexual assault and attempted rape while she was unconscious gets the reader inside her head through the whole ordeal of waking up in a hospital, coming to realize what had happened and going…

This is a hugely important book, written by a woman assaulted on an American university campus before the "#MeToo" movement and before it was recognized how much the criminal justice system played into the hands of perpetrators. Chanel…

One of the best books I’ve read in a very long time. The author was able to get what she was going through and dealing with in a very profound way. As 66 year old Hispanic male I found myself tearing up or out right crying though almost…

This is a powerful, life-changing memoir written by an incredibly strong and courageous woman. Five stars will never be enough, thank you for your beautiful words Chanel.

Know My Name by Chanel Miller tells the experience of a sexual assault survivor through the survivor’s eyes. This book is incredibly eye opening and even disheartening at times. The injustices of the judicial system and the lack of support…

This book made me realize how I have been socialized to think that anticipating male sexual aggression is my job, and that girls should even take responsibility for protecting males from their own worst instincts. This is despite thinking…

An emotional story by a woman who was sexually attacked and how she survived, despite the justice system, society and our attitudes. she lets you into her mind and heart and how she deals with this crime. Alot has to change but one thing…

Chanel Miller was raped, her case gained worldwide attention, and her attacker - Brock Turner - became the face of sexual assault (and the subsequent lack of accountability for such criminals). But she was erased, known only as Emily Doe…

Chanel Miller is an incredible human. She makes you laugh, makes you cry, and leaves you burning with a fiery rage to stand up for women everywhere.

Interesting topic but poorly written. After we get through the distressing scenes of the actual sexual assault the record of the minutiae of her life, while useful for a court, is boring for a reader.

KNOW MY NAME is a memoir written by Chanel Miller, who was previously known as “Emily Doe” in court transcripts. With gut-wrenching honesty, Miller describes the circumstances surrounding her 2015 sexual assault, its impact on her life,…

Though I grew a little tired of overly-long chapters and analysis I never for a moment thought that the author didn't have something to say, something important to say, and that she said it well. The story which anchors this book could be…

This book was so well written. Chanel's story is hard to read at times but she gives a voice to women everywhere who have been through similar situations.

Honest, raw, haunting account from a sexual abuse victim who has fought hard to reclaim her self.

This is such an important and well-written book. I picked it up with the intention to bear witness to the story of a survivor. After all #MeToo, right? But I got so much more than I bargained for. Chanel Miller is a deep thinker, a…

Having followed and been disgusted by the outcome of this case, I was keen to hear more from the Woman who wrote such a potent & palpable Victim Impact Statement. And even though it was challenging to bear witness to her anguish and…

Know My Name is a deconstruction of Chanel Miller's mind in the aftermath of her assault and through the trial as she cycles through the stages of grief and regains her strength as a woman and a name, not Brock Turner's victim. I can't…

One of the best books I've ever read. I do not usually pick up memoirs but I knew that Miller's work was something worth reading. Miller establishes herself as a strong writer & describes not only her personal trauma but shares some harsh…
