Know My Name

Know My Name is a powerful, intimate memoir by Chanel Miller about the Stanford University assault case and its aftermath. It confronts a patriarchal culture that often protects perpetrators and a criminal justice system that can fail the most vulnerable. Miller's story moves from trauma to resilience, weaving pain with humour as she finds a voice, a sense of self, and the courage to tell her truth. The book has been described as incredibly moving, haunting, and necessary, and is frequently cited for its impact on readers and public conversation. It places Miller’s experience at the center, while also examining broader social dynamics that shape how society responds to sexual violence. First published in 2020, Know My Name offers a candid, unflinching account of what it means to survive, heal, and reclaim agency after such an incident.

Readers are drawn into Miller’s journey from nightmarish events to a life rebuilt with purpose, demonstrating how one story can spark dialogue, accountability, and change. The narrative blends honesty with resilience and humor, inviting reflection on justice, memory, and the power of telling one’s truth.
