Brooke Nevils with Katie Curran O'Malley: UNSPEAKABLE THINGS – Fundraiser for Women's Law Center of Maryland

Brooke Nevils and Katie Curran O’Malley visit the Ivy Bookshop to discuss Nevils’ new memoir, Unspeakable Things, in an event benefitting the Women’s Law Center of Maryland.

Through groundbreaking interviews with leading clinicians, forensic professionals, attorneys, and frontline researchers, Unspeakable Things challenges our understanding of consent, power, and the lingering, often misunderstood effects of trauma and shame. Originating with Nevils’ own story, which helped to catalyze the MeToo movement, the book guides us through a nuanced re-examination of everything we think we know about sexual harassment and assault, starts a new conversation, and–for anyone who has ever felt ashamed, hopeless, alone and afraid– provides a light in the dark.

The mission of the Women’s Law Center of Maryland is to ensure the physical safety, economic security and autonomy of women throughout Maryland by providing direct legal representation, information and referral services, as well as legislative advocacy. Legal representation changes everything—WLC makes it possible for survivors to be safe, secure and independent.
