Me too. Young women didn t say those words out loud when Sue Kedgley was at university, not even to each other. It s time, she says, for her to say them now. Let s call the assault what it was: an attempted rape by a powerful, entitled older man used to getting what he wanted and who probably didn t give her a second thought after she fled his hotel room. Sound familiar? The parallels with Harvey Weinstein don t stop there.
There s far more to Kedgley s new memoir, Fifty Years a Feminist an intriguing insider s view of gender politics from the emergence of women s lib in the 1970s to the hashtag feminism of today. But after decades of silence, she s chosen this as her moment to open up publicly about the incident for the first time.
