Abstract
In 2017, more than a million Tweets were tagged to #MeToo. Some of these Tweets only posted “#MeToo,” while other Tweets described memories of sexual violence. Through an analysis of qualitative interview data, this article illustrates that sharing trauma using hashtag #MeToo helped participants to pattern their memories of sexual violence. It concludes with recommendations for future researchers to examine the intersections between trauma, memory, and the #MeToo hashtag.
