Robin Warshaw writes on social issues, medicine and health. In writing I Never Called It Rape, she used pseudonyms for the many women who shared their stories but wrote openly about her own acquaintance rape for the first time. She has never regretted that decision and is grateful to the women (and some men) who have reached out over the years to tell her how the book helped them. Warshaw is a contributing writer for Living Beyond Breast Cancer and writes for other nonprofits and publications. She is a member of the Authors Guild, American Society of Journalists and Authors, and the Association of Health Care Journalists. Her work has received several national awards. Salamishah Tillet is a rape survivor, activist, and feminist writer. She is the cofounder of A Long Walk Home, a nonprofit that uses art to empower young people to end violence against girls and women, and the writer of the award-winning Story of a Rape Survivor, a performance that chronicles her pathway to healing after being sexually assaulted in college. She is the faculty director of the New Arts Jus- tice Initiative at Express Newark and the Henry Rutgers Professor of African American Studies and Creative Writing at Rutgers University.
"A deeply disturbing study of date or acquaintance rape and the
myths and cultural attitudes that encourage it.... For women who
have suffered acquaintance rape, Warshaw's book should be
extraordinarily helpful. But it should be read by many others as
well: a painful, provocative, and important
work."--Kirkus
"A devastating portrait of men who rape women they know... based on
first-person accounts, scholarly studies and data from a nationwide
survey of college campuses."--Publishers Weekly
