The cover for Know My Name: A Memoir, by Chanel Miller The lettering is primarily white, except the words "A Memoir" are in a light blue. The background is a green-blue, with a few lines of gold jaggedly running through. I believe it's meant to represent broken pottery that's repaired in a way that shows the repair in order to highlight the new beauty that was created.

When a woman is assaulted, one of the first questions people ask is, Did you say no? This question assumes that the answer was always yes, and that it is her job to revoke the agreement. To defuse the bomb she was given.

The cover for the novel Breasts and Eggs, by Mieko Kawakami. A Japanese woman lies on her back and stares up and we only see a close up of her face. There's a thick peachy-pink banner at the top with the author's name and title. On the left are blurbs calling the book Radical and Breathtaking by well-known authors like Murakami.

“People are willing to accept the pain and suffering of others, limitless amounts of it, as long as it helps them to keep on believing in whatever it is that they want to believe. Love, meaning, doesn’t matter.”

The cover for the novel Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982, by Cho Nam-Joo A woman stands before a blue landscape. She has long brown hair. Where her face should be is empty, showing the background with -- blue sky, a twisted tree, rock formation, a sense it's the desert.

"What do you want from us? The dumb girls are too dumb, the smart girls are too smart, and the average girls are too unexceptional?"
