the girl with the dragon tattoo, by stieg larsson

The wikipedia entry:
"At his death in November 2004, Larsson left three unpublished novels that made up the trilogy. It became a posthumous best-seller in several European countries as well as in the United States.
Larsson, who was disgusted by sexual violence, witnessed the gang rape of a young girl when he was 15. He never forgave himself for failing to help the girl, whose name was Lisbeth - like the young heroine of his books, herself a rape victim, which inspired the theme of sexual violence against women in his books"

Disgusting, truly disgusting.


Despite feminism, high executive businesswoman, female empowerment in first world countries..., others are not so lucky. All over the world, at this very moment, women are being raped, being held against their will, their fates dictated by others, depraved of freedom.
We are still exploited and submitted to violence and suppression.
We are still fragile, weak, vulnerable.
We are still little girls in a world of men.
I am woman, hear me whimper.
