Discussion List for campus-based and allied personnel working to end gender-based violence on campus.

I use an essay by Susan Brison quite often when educating folks about the 
impact of sexual assault.  It was published in the Chronicle last year. She 
is a philosopher and faculty member at Dartmouth who was assaulted and left 
for dead in 1990.  Her book is awesome, and I recommend it:

Aftermath: Violence And The Remaking Of A Self
Author: Brison, Susan J.
Hardback; Book
178 pages
Published: January 2002
University Presses of California, Columbia and Princeton
ISBN: 0691016194

Also, Nancy Venable Rain's book is excellent (After Silence: Rape and My 
Journey Back), as is Male-on-Male Rape by Michael Scarce.
Charlotte Pierce-Baker's book, Surviving the Silence: Black Women's Stories 
of Rape is one of my most popular resources for students.  A new book is 
out from Seal Press (haven't read it yet but it looks great), called I Will 
Survive, by Lori Robinson, which is also about sexual assault and African 
American women.
