Publishers Description: Tracing the impact of Australias #MeToo moment This year, Australias #MeToo moment erupted in the national parliament. In this electrifying essay, Jess Hill, the acclaimed author of See What You Made Me Do, traces the meaning of those events and what could happen next. What are the politics of rage What couldnt Scott Morrison see And what hope is there of real progress and accountability Hill examines how the law, the media and politics can bring about - or stall - change. She shows how when #MeToo meets patriarchy, the results are unpredictable - from lasting reform to backlash. And she asks whether a conservative prime minister can do what is required to meet the moment. About the Author Jess Hill is an investigative reporter who contributes regularly to Radio Nationals Background Briefing and The Monthly. She has reported extensively on domestic violence and is the recipient of three Our Watch Walkley Awards, including the Gold Award for reporting on violence against women.
