Review

"A shrewd, eye-opening book which deals squarely and from a strong feminist perspective with the social and human ramifications of a crime that is frequently deplored but seldom punished."  —Kirkus Reviews

"Sharp as a karate chop and as right-on about the reasons why men rape women as the issue demands . . . brief, eloquent and to the point in defining rape and setting this "deadly insult" to a woman's personhood in its psychological, social, and legal contexts."  —Publishers Weekly
