520 Publisher's description: Rape, incest, and battery change
a woman's life forever. Some women never rise above the
pain, the rage, the humiliation, while others seem to
transcend the violence and rebuild their lives. What
distinguishes those who transcend the violation? Courage--
the courage to face their past and, sometimes, to put it
into words. In 1989 Miriam Harris was serving as project
coordinator for the Battered Woman's Emergency
Intervention Project at Dallas's Parkland Hospital. As
part of her duties, she taught a journal-writing class at
a women's shelter and found that the women she helped to
express their pain, rage, and frustration underwent a
catharsis of the soul, but, more importantly, understood
the heroic enterprise of regaining self-power. "The
writing cure," as she calls it, builds on the "talking
cure" that originated with Sigmund Freud's famous patient,
Anna O. According to Harris, a woman discovers a new
identity by becoming the "subject who writes" rather than
the victim who waits in silence. Knowing that the problem
of violence against women is universal in our world,
Harris put out a call to professional writers, women in
shelters, and scholars in academe. She advertised in
literary journals and newsletters, asking for
autobiographical writings by women who survived any kind
of violence and abuse. Rape, Incest, Battery resulted from
her long process of collecting, selecting, and editing.
Divided into seven sections, this anthology is arranged in
the pattern a journey might take: "Silent Woman Speaks"
redefines the events of the past; "Thoughts after Rape"
explores the continuum of sexual violence in our culture;
"Dark Pages" lights the dark of childhood, too often
revealing abuse and incest; "Grinding Axes" calls
attention to the price women pay for accepting society's
definitions of gender; "Behind His Walls" explores
imprisonment, both actual and metaphorical; "Regeneration"
captures the moment of rebirth; and "She Said NO!" affirms
female strength. A woman is raped every three minutes; a
woman is beaten in her home every fifteen seconds; one of
four women in emergency rooms is "battered." Over four
million women are beaten annually by current and former
male partners, and between two thousand and four thousand
are murdered. But this book goes beyond the overwhelming
magnitude of the problem to celebrate the images of heroic
women fighting for their rights, risking their lives,
rescuing their children from a violent family life,
testifying, speaking out, and seeking justice when they
are beaten, raped, or otherwise violated.
