Olimpia Coral Melo never set out to become a feminist icon. The humiliation of seeing her intimate video go viral made her want to abandon her own name. For thirteen years, she fought to pass a law against digital sexual violence in Mexico. Now, as the Olimpia Law gains momentum across Latin America, she must come to terms with her wounds and reclaim the name that shame once tried to take away from her.
