“I bought and used your book to help me write my thesis (thus far). The amount of research, theory, strategies, HUMOUR, life expereinces, etc you used in it made your book my primary resource. I cannot thank you enough for bringing this solution to life.”

“I wanted to congratulate you on all of your wonderful work on street harassment.  I couldn’t put your book down this past weekend!  I have to say, it really was astonishing how widespread street harassment actually is.  I guess I never really gave it much thought.”

“I’m enjoying your book–if I can use the word “enjoying” to describe what I feel.  My daughters and my future daughter-in-law will take the book after I read it.  Sheri, my oldest daughter, wants it for Spring Break. She has two  daughters, 11 and 16. When they finish it, I’ll give it to my niece. It will be well read.”

“Holly’s book on street harassment is an excellent piece that has a perfect balance of anecdotes and statistics, showcasing how prevalent the issue of street harassment is. She is very knowledgeable on the topic and on raising awareness on the issue. I highly recommend reading her book as well as having her speak at your organization.”

“Kudos to Holly Kearl!  Stop Street Harassment is the kind of research I love – insightful, thorough, and so useful. Holly takes a good clear look at the reality of women’s lives. Her analysis of the power dynamics of street harassment is right on the mark…Holly’s summary of the smart, nonviolent tactics that actually work to stop street harassers is a gift to women around the world.”

Author, Back Off! How to Confront and Stop Sexual Harassment & Harassers

“This book is a must-read for students on college campuses and may be suitable for inclusion in a women’s studies, gender studies, or sociology course. While focusing on a specific version of street harassment—that perpetuated by men on women—it opens the reader’s mind to how pervasive the problem is and illustrates how deeply rooted gender segregation is in America. Its goal is to awaken (and reawaken) readers’ desires to work toward a more progressive society where women and men see each other as humans rather than as objects for individual or public consumption. The book should incite activism and civic engagement on campus to bring positive changes in an area that affects many women’s daily lives.”

- Association of American Colleges & Universities

“I suggest that everyone—women and especially men (because street harassment needs male allies)—pick up a copy of Kearl’s book to understand the complexities of street harassment and why it should not be ignored any longer. More importantly, though, after reading Stop Street Harassment, think about what you can do to stop street harassment in your own community. Because street harassment is not going to go away—and the time to take action is now!”

“Holly Kearl’s book is a must-read for anyone who believes it is a woman’s human right to feel safe in public. Using women’s personal stories and scholarly research, Kearl explains why men ‘cat-calling’ women isn’t flattery or flirtation, but public harassment of women that can range from disturbing to downright deadly. Share this book, especially the women’s stories told within, with anyone who needs to learn more about street harassment and its dangerous effects on women.”

“Kearl’s scholarly book is written with articulate ease. She has the gift of writing about weighty subjects in a straightforward and engaging manner, that will hook the professional, the student, and the young teenager who is either the potential victim of or potential perpetrator of street harassment. My 21 year old nephew picked up the book to read and within a minute was totally engaged, oblivious to the chaos around him in my house full of guests, he just read and read.

Kearl gives a voice to those of us who have come to accept cat calls, groping and unwanted male advances as just a part of life we have to put up with. This book will empower victims of street harassment by giving them practical, safe suggestions and solutions. It will also help those of us who have been frightened on the streets, the subway, in parks, or at the mall, feel less alone. Kearl has given a voice for all of us, with the countless stories she has gathered from women around the world. As a young adult fiction author who works with teenagers across the country, I can highly recommend this book for any teenager in your life, as well as women and men of every age. a great empowering read!”
