100 TIMES: A MEMOIR OF SEXISM

Book ID/图书代码: 12070018C00277

English Summary/英文概要: An account of one hundred incidents of sexism, harassment, discrimination and assault experienced from age five to now, by Shirley Jackson Award Winner, Chavisa Woods are here described with undeniable force. From gender-based discrimination in work places, to unsolicited groping from strangers in public, to the attempted assaults on herself and the assaults of close friends, Woods uses one personal story after another to prove that sexual violence and discrimination are never just one-time occurrences, but part of a constant battle women face every day. "All my life, when I’ve tried to talk to men about sexism, my main obstacle has just been trying to convince them it exists, and that it actually has a deep and near constant impact on my life. When I talk to most women, though, [. . .] there is immediate understanding that the incidents we are discussing are part of an endless stream of sexist experiences."

100 Times is powerful in its blunt and straightforward recitation, demonstrating how often women (heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual, queer, and transgender, alike) are forced to silently endure sexism and harassment and how men are allowed to feel entitled to women’s space and bodies. Woods reveals that women experience sexual violence and sexist discrimination regardless of their age, in multiple spheres of society, in rural, and urban areas alike, in the U.S. and abroad, from the time they are very young or come out as women, and that a more in-depth conversation is needed to bring it to an end.

Chinese Summary/中文概要: 雪莉•杰克逊奖得主查维萨•伍兹在此以不可否认的力量讲述了从五岁到现在所经历的100起性别歧视、骚扰、歧视和攻击事件。从工作场合的性别歧视,陌生人在公共场合的歧视,不请自来的摸索自己的未遂袭击和亲密朋友的攻击,伍兹运用用一个又一个的个人故事证明性暴力和歧视永远只是一次性的事件,但歧视总是女性每天面对的无休止的斗争中的一部分。“在我的一生中,当我试图与男性谈论性别歧视时,我遇到的主要障碍就是试图让他们相信性别歧视的存在,而且它实际上对我的生活有着深远而近乎持续的影响。”然而,当我与大多数女性交谈时,(……)她们立刻意识到,我们正在讨论的这些事件是无休止的性别歧视经历的一部分。

《100次》以其直白的朗诵展现了女性(包括异性恋、同性恋、双性恋、酷儿、变性人等)是多么频繁地被迫默默忍受性别歧视和骚扰,以及男性是如何被允许觉得有权拥有女性的空间和身体的。伍兹的书显示,女性性暴力和性别歧视无关她们的年龄,在社会的多个领域,譬如在农村和城市地区是一样的,在美国和国外,更多的年轻女性需要更深入的交谈来结束它。(WYL)
