This book explores the beginning of the #MeToo movement by Tarana Burke in 2006, it's resurgence and viral appearance on social media in 2017, and it's current and future possibilities. It also looks at some of the unexpected Consequences of the movement. Includes quotes, color photographs, source notes, print and digital sources for further research, picture credits, and an index.
