In Plain Sight is an unflinching examination of how gender-based violence persists through cultural, legal, and institutional forms of willful ignorance. Drawing on philosopher Charles W. Mills’s framework of the epistemology of ignorance, this book exposes the mechanisms by which society turns away from the realities of violence against women and girls, rendering their experiences dismissed, denied, and erased.
Blending philosophical analysis, poetry, and narrative, Mary Simmerling interrogates the narratives that distort women’s accounts of harm and the structural forces that sustain them. Across essays and poems, she demonstrates how language, omission, and strategic ignorance normalize predatory behaviours, protect perpetrators, and silence victims. Through this critical lens, she makes visible the everyday forms of violence that have long remained hidden in plain sight.
Both an analytic inquiry and a call for recognition grounded in lived experience, In Plain Sight offers an alternative to the cultural and institutional frameworks that obscure the truth. It asks what becomes possible when we refuse to look away and insists on a language adequate to the harms women have endured.
