Author Michelle Bowdler was recently recognized by the Massachusetts Center for the Book as one of Massachusetts's must-read authors of the year. Join Bowdler for a presentation on her critically acclaimed book, "Is Rape A Crime?: A Memoir, An Investigation, and A Manifesto" via Zoom.

In 1984, the Boston Sexual Assault Unit was formed as a result of a series of break-ins and rapes that terrorized the city, of which Michelle’s own horrific rape was the last. Twenty years later, after a career of working with victims like herself, Michelle decides to find out what happened to her case and why she never heard from the police again after one brief interview. An expert blend of memoir and cultural investigation, Michelle's story is a rallying cry to reclaim our power and right our world.
