An extremely eye-opening read December 10, 2000
9 out of 10 found this review helpful

When I bought this book I really didn't know if I'd be able to read it all, but in fact I couldn't put it down! Some of the statistics quoted in this book are incredible and the stories from survivors heart-wrenching. Before I read this I really thought what happened to me was a one in a million thing, but now I realise, sadly, I'm one of far too many. It made me realise the significance of things/signals I hadn't even thought about at the time and in retrospect wish I had. I would like to commend the author on all the work she has put into this book. I feel like sending a copy to all the people who wouldn't believe me and even had me doubting myself. This book really will open your eyes to the reality of society today.

I Never Called It Rape...and Now I Do May 21, 1999
8 out of 9 found this review helpful

This book was an essential part of my early recovery process. As a survivor of relationship violence and rape in my adolescence, I never knew how to characterize it, what to call it. As a teenager, the "R" word seemed to be too imposing -- but the actual experiences were far more imposing than the language; indeed, the language and the naming of the unspeakable experience made it possible to finally confront it. Like Herman's "Trauma and Recovery," this book presented examples which helped me to understand that I was not alone in this process, nor was I losing my mind. My own responses of self-blame, depression, and anger could be understood in terms of my coping with the assault. I wish that we lived in a world where there would be no need for such a report as Ms. Warshaw's; given that we don't, I am very thankful for it.

This is a MUST Read for survivors of Rape and Sexual Assault September 23, 1997
7 out of 8 found this review helpful

As a survivor of sexual assault, this book was a Godsend while I was emotionally prepairing for my university judicial hearing as well as my show-cause hearing in district. As a survivor herself, Ms.Warshaw must have known the importance of including the stories of other survivors in her book. It was by reading about people like my self and other survivors can comprehend what we might go through and that we are not alone. However, there are still some people who decided that they wanted to try and disprove the point that rape and sexual assault hurts women in ways that people who have not survived a sexual assault could possabily understand. In this new addition, Ms. Warshaw puts her detractors(and they KNOW who they are)to shame by not only providing an awesome counter argument, but by using Real Facts obtained in a Scientific Study. These are some of the things that her detractors did not do.

Here's an exceptional book about acquaintance rape. July 10, 1997
4 out of 5 found this review helpful

If you want insight into the difficult topic of sexual assault, Robin Warshaw's book is a terrific resource.

In clear, readable language, with numerous personal stories taken from the _Ms._ survey, she touches on the complex issues surrounding the phemomenon of "date rape."

Warshaw looks at the differences between this type of rape and assaults committed by strangers. She looks at fraternities, athletes, and teen victims.

She examines the individual woman's response to an assault committed by a man she knows, as well as the response of universities, the police, and the courts.

Included are practical suggestions for preventing acquaintance rape, as well as what to do if it happens to you or someone you know. Warshaw also gives advice to educators, lawmakers, parents, and concerned men.

This is an exceptional and insightful book about acquaintance rape, and I highly recommend it.

5 out of 5 stars A 'must' book for those interested in rape victims. September 22, 1996
0 out of 1 found this review helpful

Mary P. Koss conducted the NIMHs' nationwide survey described in Robin Warshas' book. The surveyis known world wide as the largest survey revealing the true scope of rape among college students. As a student of Criminology in Israel, I have found Warshas' book a basic source for information regarding the empirical knowledge existing today about rape and rape victims. But in addition to giving me the essential information, this book inspired me to conduct a similar study in the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. No other book or study I read during the last years of my studies, (which were focused on the issues of sexual assault victims), motivated me like "I Never Called it Rape" did. A basic book for researches of sexual assault victims or perpatrators, as well as for the victims of sexual assault.
