How Many More Women?: The Silencing of Women by the Law and How to Stop It
In a new, uncensored edition, two human rights lawyers break open the ways that our legal system continues to silence and disadvantage women.
Uncensored. Unredacted. Updated.
HOW MANY MORE WOMEN
have to be raped or abused before we act?
need to accuse him before we believe her?
will be failed by the criminal justice system?
need to say something before we do something?
will be sued for defamation for speaking out?
will be contracted to silence?
From Brittany Higgins and Grace Tame to the international spectacle of Johnny Depp v Amber Heard and the furore that followed that unwanted kiss at the Women's World Cup final, women are breaking through the historic expectation that they will not speak out. But as they grow more empowered, a new form of systematic silencing is becoming more evident: the spike in survivors speaking out is often followed by a spike in legal actions against them and the media.
The law is being wielded to reinforce the status quo that existed before MeToo. Significant passages in the first edition of this very book were blacked out due to the complex web of legal rules that impact women's ability to speak.
Now, in this uncensored, unredacted edition, internationally acclaimed lawyers Jennifer Robinson and Keio Yoshida examine the laws around the world that silence women, and ask how we can ensure that their freedoms are no longer threatened by the legal system that is supposed to protect them.
Because we cannot act if we do not know. If women cannot talk about their abuse—and journalists are fearful of telling their stories—then how can we understand the problem of gender-based violence in our society? And how can we even begin to end it?

Nothing is more hysterical than seeing the one star reviews for this book with reviews that pertain to how it is full of lies. It's starkly obvious that those reviews and ratings are from those who haven't read the book at all otherwise they would be aware that there is a significant portion of the book dedicated to defamation law.
Which means that these reviews and ratings are either from the deluded that latched onto the wild idea that somehow, despite much evidence, Johnny Depp is some innocent lamb who was terrorised by his much younger, and less powerful wife or they are part of the bot army employed by his lawyers. This books talks about both. And the way women are silenced, even when they think they finally are able to speak.
This is a harrowing read, it won't incline to report any gender based violence that occurs to you, if you are a woman. The police, the law, the justice system is all rigged to fail you let alone the misogynistic view of society that somehow women are responsible or asking for it or should know better for just daring to be a woman who exists in the world. (Fucking vile.) It was exhausting to have it compounded over and over and over again how woman are let down over and over and over again around the world.
Indeed, you truely end the book wondering just how many more women will it take before things change?

While heartbreaking to read, this book is an important analysis of the sad but necessary fact to understand: the system is not really broken, but actively built to protect abusers, or at least very easy for abusers to use to their advantage. However, the book also covers ground being made to change that (hopefully). With a particular focus on legal cases in Australia, this book is very relevant and I'm glad I read it. The courage it takes to speak out is incredible against the depressing as hell odds.

So sad to see all the supporters of the patriarchy in here ‘reviewing’ this book on the basis of the ‘facts’ as they know them from US & UK ‘media’ reporting. The Wild West of the USA

Fascinating insight from two high profile lawyers on the ways that the legal system not only fails, but silences, women. I look forward to being able to read the redacted sections once they’re available. The book explains the complexities of the Australian, British and American legal systems and how these are weaponised in order to silence women. A really important book.

Nothing beats the irony of finding entire pages censored in a book about censorship and defamation. If you struggle to understand these concepts, I urge you to read How Many More Women; it doesn't get any more explanatory than finding explicit censure in this book. I know that some people are reluctant and consciously unwilling to understand what Robinson and Yoshida explain here. Still, I genuinely want to believe that no one can deny what it's literally in front of their eyes. Swipe left here to see what I'm talking about.
I'm confident most of us have heard about Grace Tame, Britanny Higgins and the Depp vs Heard trials, both in the UK and the US. These are some of the very well-known cases that the authors use to exemplify how current laws —Australian, English and US ones— are tirelessly manipulated by men to silence women. Although the authors are able to delve further into certain cases but not into others —hence, censorship of particular parts of this book— it's virtually impossible to deny the facts they expose.
I was not truly surprised about the stuff I learned from this book because, to some extent, I knew that the law is complicit in the never-ending violence perpetrated by men. However, I was utterly shocked to learn how frustratingly challenging it is for a woman privileged enough to have the resources to seek justice against her perpetrator, to get the justice she deserves. Historically, nationally and internationally, women do not get justice. The ones who can go that road are vilified, dismissed and silenced, left and right, day in and day out. If you don't believe this, I implore you to read this book. Robinson and Yoshida do an extraordinary job presenting evidence of the unbelievable level of injustice we are all subjected to.
Overall, How Many More Women is a crucial and accessible read to understand the world we live in. Some of us might be unable to make impactful changes, but being well-informed is the first step. Start with this book.

The first thing a male ally needs to learn is, no matter how much you've heard about the everyday misogyny women live with, actually living through it is almost certainly a lot worse (and you'll never really know for sure what it's like). I knew that before I bought this book, of course, but seeing it presented in such stark terms and with such severe real-world consequences was still quite a shock. But hey, the more men (and women, for that matter) know just how the legal deck is stacked against survivors of rape and harassment, the sooner we've got a chance of changing that.
It should go without saying, this book will make you angry. But if it makes you more aware, that's well worth it!

Really hard to rate because it's a really important read and subject matter, but I just can't help feeling depressed having finished it. I read another review that said this is a harrowing read (or listen in my case) that would not incline you to report abuse as a woman and I couldn't sum it up any better to be honest. I think more people should read/listen to this, but it's heavy so be warned.

Powerful. In some ways, this changed my perspective and also challenged me to face my bias about my defending of Johnny Depp. Seriously, who tf is he to me? A favourite actor on the silver screen?
I remember a village scene in Platoon where Sheen's character, Taylor, stops fellow soldiers from raping young girls, while their platoon puts the village to the torch. In the next scene as the village is burning, Depp is heroically carrying a young girl, assisting her out of the village while Barber's Adaggio for Strings plays.
Turns out they were nothing like Elías, and have more in common with Barnes.

Powerful read on how the legal system silences and fails women affected by gender-based violence.
Free speech is a woman's right, along with the right to equality and to be free from violence. The majority of women who speak up about gender-based violence do so to protect other women from abuse. They shouldn't be silenced with defamation cases, improper use of NDAs, or false stereotyping.
Written in a way that is easy to understand despite explaining the legal issues, and uses high profile examples such as Epstein, Weinstein, Depp v Heard.

AMAZING! this book was so eye-opening. i originally bought it on a vacation in london not knowing what to expect. the title grabbed my attention and i knew i had to buy it. both of the authors do a marvelous job providing an intersectional approach to feminism, providing evidence and anecdotal stories from all spheres of the globe. i thought this was especially important because it shows how global this issue really is. women are being silenced when it comes to reporting gender-based violence and we have not created a legal system that is hospitable to victims. they provided specific examples by talking about how famous men often abuse NDA contracts and british celebrities often use injunctions for their acts of sexual misconduct to stay under wraps.
in this book, the authors dissected different cases from weinstein, epistein, and depp. their analysis of modern culture and the law parallels each other. the book features different interviews from women and one of my favorite chapters was “her truth, on trial twice,” where dr. keina yoshida discusses her time as a lawyer for amber heard’s legal team and her experience with witnessing chauvinism and misogyny first hand.
this book really gives a through understanding of the #MeToo movement on a global scale and it provides a variety of different perspectives. even as an american, i was able to learn about problems within my own country and other countries. it is well researched and it provides some very perplexing questions about law, culture, and society. i went it to this book knowing nothing and left it knowing so much more.
the book’s call to action is also particularly inspiring. robinson and yoshida leave the reader with tangible action items, for both citizens and governing bodies as a whole. one idea i really liked was profond juries with special instructions about certain myths pertaining to sexual violence. our understanding is sexual violence is often very one-sided and people still unintentionally harbor many misunderstandings about victimology. i really appreciated how the authors deconstructed the idea of “the perfect victim.”
their experience as lawyers, activists, and feminists make them amazing educators about human rights. reading this book has definitely inspired me to make change in my community and work towards a more inclusive and safe future for women everywhere. i really think everyone should read this book so they can understand the trauma an legal hurdles many victims have to go through. this book is definitely heavy but VERY necessary.

Incredibly important and necessary book. I had no idea about lots of this, it really taught me a lot and opened my eyes to areas of the law around the world (including Australia) that I’d never considered before.
I put it down 1 star because tbh I found it quite long and dry and it kinda became a drag to get through after a while, feeling like it was repeating the main points established near the start again and again.
I do wish it was more intersectional, even the subtle nuance of linguistic choices could have been better with for example not expressing the victim figure as exclusively female, or talking more about impacts of racism too. It does touch on these areas though, and fairly notes intersections with classism - because obviously this is SUPER pertinent when talking about how the legal system fucks with victims of abuse (I.e. affording very very expensive lawsuits).
Whole book is super triggering topic for many obviously, but I do wish that it gave little warnings before mentioning more triggering and explicit things - like quotes from evidence used in court for abuse cases.

Women’s rights is something which is so important, however rarely acknowledged, which Jennifer Robinson and Keira Yoshida emphasise on, using cases in the United Kingdom, United States, Japan and Latin America. Through defamation laws, coercion, privy laws and the idea of freedom of speech, both Robinson and Yoshida extract information from real life clients, commentators and stories of where the system fails to recognise the rights of women.
Using feminist critics, the legal system is inherently patriarchal. As bell hooks mentioned, the problem is not to do with men, but rather patriarchy. The more traditional the legal system is, the more repressive women’s rights will be.
To make change, is to ultimately become the change and I’m in awe of Robinson and Yoshida’s writing.

interesting discussion exploring the impact of the threat of defamation proceedings on the willingness of survivors to bring charges for sexual offences

Such a great book. Highlights how the justice system has oppressed women over time and how somehow (???) it is still just as bad as it was 30 years ago.

This book is incredible, definitely the most informative and eye opening book I've read in years (probably since medical school).
The sad reality is the people who really ought to read this book won't.
It has left me with one question, as a lay person... should the right to reputation be a fundamental human right at all?

This book is full of verifiable lies, I don’t even know how this book was published. These “lawyers” are spreading willful misinformation and pushing a false narrative that directly conflicts persuasive evidence. Do not believe this book, as a survivor of abuse myself this book was incredibly triggering and I’m appalled that these so called truth tellers and “voices for the community” could publish a book that so actively harms that exact community. When you tell lies and pass them off as truths you HURT US. There is no excuse and I’m horrified by all the people loving this book despite that it’s literally full of blatant misinformation. If you really want to know what happened go watch the trial, go watch the hundreds of legal analysis videos, go listen to real survivors and hear how much this book and the case it references hurt our community. How much we don’t claim her, and how much we refute her. These so called experts are perpetuating a false, hurtful narrative that seeks to change the facts of what happened based on speculation and “evidence” that has been completely redacted. Or you know, proven to be a lie in the court of law through cross examination. Oh also don’t forget, these two people were on AH’s legal team for the entire trial, they are not unbiased at all and have very real motivation to write whatever they want so that their reputation comes off unscathed. After all, they chose the side of an abuser that was found guilty so what else can they do but double down on their position, publish a book that supports their position, and fill it with blatant lies to reinforce their position? Because that’s exactly what they did. I’m disgusted by these authors and the publisher. It’s the publisher’s duty to fact check non fiction and whelp guess they just threw that out the window.

Firstly, this was a great Christmas present ❤️ Another insightful book that gave a lot of colour to the nuances of defamation cases, use of NDAs and the broader systems of "justice" women have to navigate when male perpetrators of violence against women are brought to the courts. I didn't appreciate the tone as much as I have other books, it felt laboured in places but all in all an enjoyable read.
Some headline learnings:
- Unsurprisingly, laws designed by men and for men, which have been slow to amendment as society seeks to foster gender and racial equality tend to fucking suck and are actively weaponised by perpetrators in legal systems happy to enable this abuse.
- Furthermore, there is a rich irony in 'justice' being personified as a woman; "Lady Justitia". The author's highlight that laws designed to privilege certain demographics can't possibly be as objective as we'd like to convince one another and perhaps the blindfold should become a gag.
- Immigration status can be weaponised and fear of deportation/loss of child custody is a key barrier to abuse reporting for migrants.
- Mysoginist mythology has inaccurately characterized the reality of false rape allegations (colour me surprised). In the UK only 0.23% of rape reports lead to a false arrest and only 0.07% of rape reports lead to a man being falsely charged with rape.
- When defamation cases are brought against journalist or newspapers, the female victim survivors rarely have any agency over how the events are communicated or defended. Also defamation laws in the UK and USA vary with the onus switching between parties.
- The Depp v Heard trial in the USA was pretty fucked up. Not surprising by any means but the insight Jen was able to provide both as Heards counsel in the UK proceedings and an expert reflecting on the USA proceedings was incredible.

Simply a must- read. Did you know only 14% of sexual assult victim/survivors report the assult to police? Or that only 1-2% of reported rapes lead to a conviction? Did you know that a women who experiences gender-based violence, who later speaks out about their experience, even when they DONT name their abuser, can be sued by their abuser, thus finding themselves the one being persecuted. Whether the #MeToo movement resonated with you, or (and especially if) you believed Depp vs. Heard trial was just a "mutually toxic" relationship, this book is for you.
"How Many More Women" is an informative and shocking exploration of how the legal system is designed and implemented to silence women who experience gender-based violence. With particular emphasis on defamation laws and non-disclosure agreements. Using well publicized examples including Winstein, Epstein, the Australian #MeToo movement in Politics (circa early 2021), and BOTH of the Depp vs. Heard defamation trials. If you think (or want to be able to articulate yourself to people who think) women who do not report, or delay reporting an assult to police are likely lying when they later speak out about their experiences, this book helps to unpack how these false stereotypes are perpetuated.
The first book I've ever read that have sections redacted by the authors themselves. But I book I would recommend to absolutely everyone.

3.5 stars, I commend the authors on their hard work both in this book and for women’s rights in general.
I must warn you, it’s not a cruisy read. It’s a myriad of cases involving women who have tried to speak up against abuse and were further victimised. I had to break it up because it’s quite infuriating to hear.
I think what I would have liked to see would be more law reform opportunities. They aren’t absent, but they’re certainly not so prevalent as I’d like. I understand the author’s intention to show the extent of the problem and the failings of the justice system, but I think that becomes apparent after the third or fourth case study. Still, a bulk of evidence lends greater credence to their point that things need to change. Perhaps another book could be in the works about how that may look?

Everybody concerned about the morass of misinformation, toxicity and other silencing tactics in the public sphere around sexual abuse and violence needs to read this, urgently. It is an accessible introduction to the sheer extent of 'lawfare' used against victims in these cases and to the huge amount of constructive work going on to fight back. This book is also a crucial assertion of the human right, enshrined in international law, to speak about gender-based violence in the context of legal systems that persistently fail victims. Buy it now! (And please ignore the 1 star reviews from Depp fans. I guarantee you they have no idea what it's about.)

Eye opening. Helpful for navigating the media and high profile sexual harassment/defamation cases. Robinson defended Amber Heard and provides insight to that process, and it makes me ill that Netflix has just realised a trashy documentary on the US case concerning her and Depp. The (mis)use of NDAs in particular really struck me. Robinson and Yoshida have essentially written the lay person's handbook for navigating the law and sexual harassment/abuse.

Gave the book 3 stars because it was very educational which I knew going into it. This is not a book I read for enjoyment which meant it was hard to give a star rating for it. Well written and very educational however would not recommend it to people that don’t know legal terminology. I will definitely be recommending this book to my fellow students of my law classes
May 10, 2023
This was eye opening to me. I'm trying to educate myself on more feminist issues and gender based violence and I had no idea how the very laws which are supposed to protect us, do not.
A great read.

Loved the parts about NDAs v interesting especially perceptions by victims that they can’t talk to police
