Publisher Description
What happens when the usual political tactics of deflect and dodge are no longer enough?
A reckoning.
The Guardian's political reporter Amy Remeikis has spoken before about being a survivor of sexual assault, but Brittany Higgins going public with her story ripped the curtain back not just on political attempts to deal with real-world issues, but also how unsafe women can be, even inside the most protected building in the country.
Amy didn't expect to see political leaders fumble the moment so completely. And what followed was people taking back the conversation from the politicians.
On Reckoning is a searing account of Amy's personal and professional rage, taking you inside the parliament - and out - during one of the most confronting and uncomfortable conversations in recent memory.

Every Man Should Read This Book
I have been meaning to read this book since hearing Amy recite her story during the Brittany Higgins revelations. He words slapped me across the face as I had often thought of things in terms of ‘what if it was my daughter/son’.
I purchased this today and devoured it in one sitting. OK, it’s not a huge tome, but it is an very important book on a very important subject which will challenge the way men (of my generation at least) think.
Bravo Amy!
Life changing
Every woman should read this. Actually, every man should read this to try and understand exactly why women are so damn ANGRY. Thank you for this Amy.
A must read
Amy’s sharing of her own story with heart and intellect shines a much needed light on the shortfalls of our society when it comes to how women are valued and respected. Read it. Be challenged in your thoughts. Lift up others. Be kind.
