Description

Chapter 2: discussion of sexual violence suffered by Esther Fairfax that her parents either facilitated or ignored. Specifically, her mother, Lotte Berk "dared her daughter to perform oral sex on men and convinced her to become a topless dancer in Paris." Her father Ernest made Esther sleep in the same bed with him while they were both naked and she was 12 years old. Chapter 3: runner Katherine Switzer was grabbed while running in the Boston Marathon by the marathon director, who was trying to remove her from the race. Years later, he grabbed her again, and, without warning, directed her to face cameras and kissed her on the cheek. Chapter 7: mention of Yogi K. Pattabhi Jois sexually abusing his students (page 214). Mention of Bikram Choudhury being accused by several women of "rape and sexual assault, as well as false imprisonment, discrimination, and sexual harassment, leading him to be called the 'Harvey Weinstein of Yoga.".
