- W1877889539 abstract "Rape is a social, cultural, and criminal phenomenon around the world. Thestatistics pertaining to rape, in the United States alone, demonstrate what a seriousproblem it is. Silence and shame have previously shrouded the thousands of victims ofrape who have met with distant, cold, and often disbelieving reactions to their experience.Innate discomfort and fear of rape leads many to turn their backs on rape survivors and,as a result, far too many women have chosen to remain silent about their horrificexperiences.Lucky by Alice Sebold, Two or Three Things I Know for Sure by DorothyAllison, and After Silence: Rape and My Journey Back by Nancy Venable Raine are allexamples of the contemporary female memoir about rape; many are now being publishedand are beginning to break down this wall of silence by presenting graphic andsometimes disturbing, but extremely important details about rape and its effects. Eachdemonstrates the effects of such trauma both physically and mentally. Rape survivors,after their sexual assault, lose touch with the person they were before the experience, andusually spend many years enduring symptoms of denial, self-loathing, self-blame, andeven suicidal feelings, exemplifying Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Only in facing thepain of their experience head on, revising their sense of self, and accepting that theycannot be the women they were before being raped, can they rebuild their lives. Withself-acceptance and eventual embrace of their newly developed selves calm, inner peace,and resolution can be found.Despite the outmoded theories of Sigmund Freud et al. that suggest rape is afulfillment of women’s deepest sexual fantasies, contemporary memoirs are detailing the brutal reality of rape and the severe psychological impact this personal violation has uponits victims. Patriarchal societies around the world have had limited understanding of rapeand the way in which it destroys lives, often choosing to ignore its reality. In adopting anarrative that speaks on behalf of all rape victims, a universal “I”, these memoirists,among others, are giving a voice to rape survivors and forcing its presence into the faceof society." @default.
