Women's awareness of the threat and reality of sexual violence is
now perhaps more than ever publicly acknowledged. Yet this fact
continues to be almost wholly ignored. This new study, based on
in-depth interviews with 60 women, is the first to cover the
experience of a range of forms of sexual violence over women's
lifetimes. Drawing on feminist theory, developing a critique of
male research and quoting extensively from the women interviewed,
it developes feminist thought in several key areas: the
similarities and differences between forms of sexual violence; the
ways women define their experiences; and the strategies women use
in resisting, coping with and surviving sexual violence. The author
stresses the importance for all women of recognizing the incidents
of sexual violence in their lives and seeing themselves and other
women as survivors rather than victims. In highlighting the ways in
which the media, the criminal justice system and even the "helping"
profess ions contribute to the trivialization of sexual violence,
she demonstrates the necessity of women organizing collectively to
end this suffering.
