I hope with the women who break their silence and contribute to this survey some very much needed changes will take place. God knows we need them.This book is the result of a nationwide survey of 2300 letters from women and 97 from men about rape and sexual abuse. Patricia Easteal analysed the materials primarily from women who have experienced abuse from husbands, estranged husbands, relatives, dates, bosses, priests, acquaintances and strangers.

Some of the stories in the book are heart-wrenching, yet the problem continues. Here women are able to give voice to their own stories and receive validation for what they have endured. Me, You, and Books
