A thoroughly researched and deeply personal examination of how women unintentionally condone workplace abuse in a post-#MeToo world—and a guide to changing things for the better

When Reah Bravo began working at the Charlie Rose show, the open secret of Rose’s conduct toward women didn’t deter her from pursuing a position she thought could launch her career in broadcast journalism. She considered herself more than capable of handling any unprofessional behavior that might come her way. But she soon learned a devastating truth: we don’t always react to abusive situations as we imagine we would.

In a society where many feminist ideals are mainstream and women hold positions of power, how does sexual misconduct remain as prevalent as it is? When so many employers mandate training to prevent harassment of all kinds, why is workplace abuse still rampant?

Weaving her own experience with those of other women and insights from experts, Bravo reveals the psychological and cultural forces that make us all enablers of a sexist and dangerous status quo. By bringing these hard truths to light, Complicit charts an accessible path toward a better future.

About the Author

Reah Bravo is an American speechwriter currently living in Brussels. Earlier in her career, she worked in broadcast journalism producing political and other news segments for the PBS program Charlie Rose-a stint that ended in 2008, when she joined the nearly half of all sexually harassed women in America who leave their jobs. She holds a master's degree in international affairs from Columbia University and was a Fulbright Fellow in Bahrain.

Industry Reviews

“Fiercely vulnerable and impressively researched, Complicit is at once a salient self-examination and an unflinching interrogation of the societal permissions we both knowingly and unknowingly grant to powerful (mostly white) men behaving badly. At a critical time in the ongoing fight for gender and racial justice, Bravo has written an empathic and concise book that will inspire the next generation of voices courageous enough to rage against the machine.”
—Rebecca Carroll, author of the critically acclaimed memoir Surviving the White Gaze
