Andrea Constand did the right thing, not just for herself, but for sixty other women. When Bill Cosby was convicted on three counts of sexual assault in 2018, the verdict sent shock waves around the globe. Some were outraged that a beloved icon of family values, the man dubbed "America's dad," had been accused, let alone convicted. Others were stunned because they had waited so long to see justice; in accusations going back decades, sixty women recounted how they'd been drugged, raped and assaulted at Cosby's hands. Andrea Constand is just one of these women, but she was the only one with the power to bring him to justice. Constand's decade-long legal marathon required her to endure an excruciating civil suit, and two harrowing criminal trials. It was her deep sense of personal and social responsibility, fostered by her close-knit immigrant family and values earned through team sports, that gave her the courage to testify at the criminal trial--something she agreed to do not for herself, but for the sixty other women whose stories would never be told in court. In The Moment, Constand opens up about the emotional and spiritual work she did to recover from the assault and the psychological regimen she developed to strengthen herself for the courtroom. Ultimately, Constand's testimony brought a powerful man to account. She also gained a new understanding of the resiliency of human spirit, and the affirming knowledge that stepping up and doing the right thing, even when the outcome is uncertain, is the surest path to true healing. From the woman who has been called "the true hero of #MeToo," The Moment is a memoir about the moment a life changes, as hers did when she was raped; about the moment, nearly a decade later, when she stood up for victims without a voice and put herself through an arduous criminal trial; and about the cultural moment, signified by the #MeToo movement, that made justice possible."-- $c Provided by publisher. 530 $a Issued also in electronic format. 600 10 $a Constand, Andrea, $d 1973- 600 10 $a Constand, Andrea, $d 1973- $x Trials, litigation, etc. 600 10 $a Cosby, Bill, $d 1937- $x Trials, litigation, etc. 600 17 $a Cosby, Bill, $d 1937- $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00090635 650 0 $a Sexual abuse victims $z Canada $v Biography. 650 0 $a Rape victims $z Canada $v Biography. 650 0 $a Sex crimes $z United States. 650 0 $a Trials (Sex crimes) $z United States. 650 0 $a Sexual harassment of women. 650 0 $a MeToo movement. 650 7 $a MeToo movement. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst02021143 650 7 $a Rape victims. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01090022 650 7 $a Sex crimes. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01114275 650 7 $a Sexual abuse victims. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01114783 650 7 $a Sexual harassment of women. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01114883 650 7 $a Trials (Sex crimes) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01156407 651 7 $a Canada. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204310 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 $a Trials, litigation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423712 776 08 $i Online version: $a Constand, Andrea, 1973- $t Moment. $d Toronto : Viking Canada, 2021 $z 9780735240483 $z 9780735240483 $w (OCoLC)1227049012 941 $a 3 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240314025101.0 952 $l SBPB074 $d 20231028024118.0 952 $l GHPD771 $d 20220402012641.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B397CF98B24C11ECA3078D8E53ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
