Survivors of campus sexual assault share the stories of how they
confronted and overcame the trauma of being attacked. A 2014 report
issued by the White House Council on Women and Girls included the
alarming statistic that one in five female college students in the
United States experiences some form of campus sexual assault.
Despite more than fifty years of anti-rape activism and over two
decades of federal legislation regarding campus sexual violence,
sexual assault on American college and university campuses remains
prevalent, underreported, and poorly understood. A principal reason
for this lack of understanding is that the voices of women who have
experienced campus sexual assault have been largely absent from
academic discourse about the issue. In Campus Sexual Assault,
Lauren J. Germain focuses attention on the post-sexual assault
experiences of twenty-six college women. She reframes conversations
about sexual violence and student agency on American college
campuses by drawing insight directly from the stories of how
survivors responded individually to attacks, as well as how and why
peers, family members, and school, medical, and civil authorities
were (or were not) engaged in addressing the crimes. Germain weaves
together women's narratives to show the women not as victims per se
but as individuals with the power to overcome these traumatic
experiences.
