"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."--Dust jacket flap.

I learned so much reading this book. It's an incredible guide on how to appropriately talk about rape, rape culture, and how to support victims, individually and communally. The stories and guidance that follow give examples about how rape culture is fostered, and how to change our language around rape as to be supportive and not blame the victim. I highly recommend this book, whether or not you or someone you know has been assaulted.
