In her article “Who’s Coming For You” published by VIDA: Women in Literary Arts, Katie Nopper DiPasquale examins womens attitudes and fears around the threat of gender based violence. In reference to Sarai Walker’s novel Dietland (2015, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt) which features a feminist vigalante named Jennifer, who goes after men who have committed crimes against women and gotten away with it; Writer, KatieNopperDiPasquale, states ” The fact that tales like Jennifer’s are rarely told in books and movies or on TV does not reflect my experience of reality, in which every woman I know has grappled with the question of gender-based violence and what it means to their lives.”
Moving between interviews with three women (including Daughters of Change founder, Marie Sola) and self reflection, Katie weaves a thought provoking article that will make you re-examine your thoughts on what it means to move through the world as a woman.
