#15 Laurie Halse Anderson, how do you go from victim to survivor?
More than 20 years after her groundbreaking novel “Speak,” Laurie Halse Anderson has taken another step with her poetry memoir “Shout.” Her book reveals her own history as a survivor of sexual assault and deals with feelings of helplessness, depression and anger - but also with the healing process. Laurie Halse Anderson says in this interview: “Sometimes I want to set the world on fire and just start attacking government buildings with a large hammer because there are institutional changes that have to happen.” We talked about what those changes are and how we can all do our part.
