Summary:
"Drawing on her own experience, her work with hundreds of survivors as the head of a
rape
crisis center in Boston, and three decades of grappling with
rape
as a feminist intellectual and writer, Abdulali tackles some of our thorniest questions
about
rape
, articulating the confounding way
we
account for who gets raped and why--and asking how
we
want to raise the next generation. In interviews with survivors from around the world
we
hear moving personal accounts of hard-earned strength, humor, and wisdom that collectively tell the larger story of
what
rape
means and how healing can occur."--From publisher.
