Brison in "The Chronicle Review" of "The Chronicle of Higher Education" a professional newspaper that comes out weekly. A book will follow in a month or so. Susan Brison is a professor of philosophy, and she reports many incidents, knew to her, that have painful meaning for me and I expect would for other raped women. One example: "My sense of unreality was fed by the massive denial of those around me--a reaction that is an almost universal response to rape, I learned." i still get that reaction, which means I don't mention this fact much/ever. There doesn't seem to be a social category to fit in other than victim or survivor. What have literacy teachers found? How do you handle this problem? Have you found solutions? Andrea
