Review

"Essential . . . It is nonpolemical, lucid, and speaks eloquently not only to the victims of acquaintance rape but to all those caught in its net."--Philadelphia Inquirer

"A devastating portrait of men who rape women they know... based on first-person accounts, scholarly studies and data from a nationwide survey of college campuses."--Publishers Weekly

"A deeply disturbing study of date or acquaintance rape and the myths and cultural attitudes that encourage it.... For women who have suffered acquaintance rape, Warshaw's book should be extraordinarily helpful. But it should be read by many others as well: a painful, provocative, and important work."--Kirkus

From the Author

Thanks to all
I chose the title for this book from the comment I heard again and again from the women I interviewed. All of them knew that something dreadful had happened, but, "I never called it rape," they said. Many of those women, and others, now know that what happened to them was, indeed, rape. I'm grateful to all those who helped me create both editions of this book and I appreciate the kind comments that have been posted here. The best news I can offer is that the women who shared their stories with me have created good and strong lives for themselves.
