"42 percent of the women who were raped said they had sex again with the men who assaulted them." --Robin Warshaw, I Never Called It Rape
This book contains a detailed report on "the largest scientific investigation ever undertaken on the subject [of rape]" (page 3). The compassionate yet frank writing provides a wealth of information for those who want to know what the real story of rape in America is. With chapters like "The Reality of Acquaintance Rape," "Why Women are Safe Victims," and "Men Who Rape Women They Know," this book uses the stories of several survivors of sexual assault combined with statistical data and analysis to educate those who still fail to see the problem for what it is.

"Rape keeps all women in a state of fear about all men." --Mary Pipher, Ph.D., Reviving Ophelia: Saving the Selves of Adolescent Girls
Reviving Ophelia is an amazing book
about the attitudes toward women that our society has developed and accepts.
Written by Mary Pipher, a clinical psychologist, this book relates powerful
true stories about adolescent girls and the changes they go through in
order to be accepted by society. The chapter titled "Sex and Violence"
deals most specifically with rape and date rape, but the entire book removes
the blindfold from the eyes of those who fail to see that our society promotes
subordination of women.
Here is a list of other books about surviving rape and abuse:
