Confronting Rape and Sexual Assault (Worlds of Women)

Summary: A wonderful resource... makes you think.
Review: This book is a compelation of some of the popular and well known studies. Being a rape survivor, i found this book to be very informing, and it really helped me to start processing what had happened. It is divided into sections, the first one being reflections and writings of rape survivors. This is followed by other sections about why rape occurs and what can be done about it. I highly recommend this book, not as an easy, enjoyable read, but as an excellent resource and guide.

Summary: Perfect collection of scholarly essays
Review: This book is one of the best editted practical collections on rape and sexual assault that I have read. The book is ideal for activists, administrators, survivors, scholars, and anyone else who is interested in rape and sexual assault. I used many of the essays from the book for two completely different research papers. The book contains many great articles on the prevalence of rape on college campuses. It also contains some enlighting essays on rape law and the prevalence of rape myths.

Summary: Wonderful insight
Review: What a wonderfully honest book! It shares the heartbreak of what rape does to the human soul. I also highly recommend reading Peaceful Heart: A Woman's Journey of Healing, by Aimee Jo Martin....a book that is a true testament to the human spirit.
