Annotation: Becoming Unbecoming is a difficult but necessary book about gender double standards, sexual violence, and fear. Although the violence is not directly depicted, it is clear what has happened. The content includes what doesn’t get discussed in ‘polite’ conversations, but should be. It all takes place during the time the Yorkshire Ripper was raping and killing women with the press at times blaming the victims and glorifying the man.
