Editorial Reviews

Review

Women who have been date-raped reveal the singular pain of betrayal that compounds the brutal experience of sexual violence. Their personal accounts are then considered by health professionals who explain how to recognize factors common in rape situations, recommend methods for recovery, and answer frequently asked questions. The Other Side of Silence includes a state-by-state listing of rape ciris centers. This is a vital addition to any university, highschool or community library and every women's crisis center reference shelf. -- Midwest Book Review

This review is from: The Other Side of Silence: Women Tell about Their Experiences with Date Rape (Hardcover)

This book is great because there are stories by real women about their experiences with date rape. There are also chapters written by professionals like a psychologist, doctor, and academics. There is even a story by a guy who thinks he committed date rape.

This book is the best I have read on the subject of date rape and should be read by all young girls in high school and/or college to think about this most prevalent form of rape in our society. It is also very important for boys to read this book to explore their (mis)conceptions about sexuality and resistance by women.

Parents, buy this book for your adolescents!
