Kate Harding takes on politicians, the media, and commonly held myths in a way that's accessible for antiviolence experts and novices alike. " Asking for It is a must-read for anyone who cares about ending sexual violence. Harding's book serves as a welcome addition to the conversation she doesn't mince words meticulously documented Harding writes with courage and passion that may rankle some readers which might not be an entirely bad thing.” This book probably isn't going to get through the thick skulls of true rape apologists, but it is a good read if you keep hearing the term rape culture” and don't really know what it means, or if you're enraged by the media that calls Patrick Kane a 'target' of a rape investigation instead of a 'subject' of one."Īsking For It offers a smart, concise, and surprisingly funny contribution to the dialogue on patriarchy, misogyny, and rape.” "It's less depressing than it might sound, in part because of Harding's funny and occasionally sarcastic style, and for something so full of facts and figures, it's a pretty enthralling read.

And, as always in a Pizzoli book, there are wonderful details: readers will note that the markings on spines of the books go from fuzzy lines to actual titles when the Book Hog learns to read, and that in one spread, he raptly stands right by the librarian’s chair, clutching its arm as she reads aloud to the group. But when a kind librarian invites him to join for storytime, this literature-loving pig discovers the treasure that books really are.Greg Pizzoli, master of. Pizzoli once again employs a candy-colored palette and an ebullient cast-the pink-and-green look, and even some of the characters, are reminiscent of his The Watermelon Seed. He had never learned.” Then Book Hog discovers the library (“he smelled some books inside”) and a whole community of book lovers, including a kind librarian whose attentiveness and story times inspire him-“over time, and with practice”-to become a reader.

I am pretty certain that they wanted me to skip the Internet-only option (which they assumed would be my choice, since I was reading the advertisement on the Web) and jump to the more expensive option: Internet and print. Who would want to buy the print option alone, I wondered, when both the Internet and the print subscriptions were offered for the same price?
