"Harrowing, fierce, intimate, and ultimately empowering, Mad Wife is a brilliant memoir for our moment. A feminist must-read."
-Kate Manne, author of Down Girl: The Logic of Misogyny
"Kate Hamilton has written a memoir that I'm dying to talk about with every woman I know. Beautifully written, unbelievably brave, unflinchingly honest, Mad Wife is an indictment of heterosexual marriage and, specifically, sex within marriage. Hamilton's is a story of how patriarchy has designed marriage to gaslight a woman for the entirety of a relationship, to distort her understanding of consent and her own desires, and to entitle a husband to his wife's body. This memoir will have women readers reassessing every sexual encounter they've ever had with a partner and wondering why it has taken so long for a book like this to exist."
-Donna Freitas, author of Consent: A Memoir of Unwanted Attention
"Lucid, measured, searing, important. Kate Hamilton draws an intricate map of her heart-space, courageously taking us on her journey of love, heartbreak, awakening, and triumph. I am deeply renewed by her words, a beautiful reclamation of a precious life that is her own and a reminder that we belong to ourselves."
-Beverly Gooden, author of Surviving
