Terrific book but time for a new edition

I Never Called it Rape is a classic book integrating research and womens survivor stories that really helps women to understand about how rape occurs, what it really means, and how to go about recovering for it. Based on the most comprensive study about rape to date, done in the 1980s, Warshaw weaves in the stories of survivors in a poetic an poignant way throught this masterpiece. My only criticism is that the statistics are now 20 years old and it is clearly time for a new edition, or similar book like it, to be written.

A must read for everyone

I cannot begin to explain how important this book is to read. Although it is fairly old, the statistics are still relevant and the topics need to be looked at and discussed. Rape is still a some what "hush hush" problem because it's a difficult topic to discuss. Aquaintance rape is misunderstood, or not understood at all which is why I loved this book. It explains all the many different types of aquaintance rape from that one date guy who rapes the girl to the case of a husband who rapes his wife. Just because a woman (or man) is dating someone, it does not give the significant other the right to rape them. Just because the victim knew their attacker doesn't make it less of a rape. I HIGHLY recommend this book to EVERYONE. Men and women alike, as well as rape victims/survivors. It has a section on how loved ones can help someone who has been raped as well as people who have just been raped. I really like this report/book and it is a short read so there really is no excuse not to pick it up and read it.

This book is very helpful

Having looked at numberous books on the subject of rape and how to react if you or a loved one is raped, I have determined this to be the best book. When I went to the library, the other books there talked about the aftermath of rape, especially discussing long-term affects.
This book discusses important, timely issues. It shows you that you are not alone and that you are not to blame.
I wish this book was required reading. It taught me, and would teach others, many important things we need to know.

READ THIS!!!

This is a book that should be read by everyone who is in college, teaches at a college, is a college administrator, and parents of college students. It is incredibly informative and is a real eye-opener. Please, remember that this book was written over 10 years ago. It is somewhat dated, but still pertains to the problem to acquaintance rape today. Read this and take the information in. People need to realize the prevalence of rape on campuses and between acquaintances. Should be read by everyone so that myths can be abolished and people can truly see acquaintance rape for what it is-- RAPE and, subsequently, a crime punishable by prison.
