SPEAKING OUT - TANYA SERISIER GEBUNDEN

This is the first critical study of feminist practices of 'speaking out' in response to rape.
This book argues that feminist anti-rape politics are characterised by a belief in the
transformative potential of women's personal narratives of sexual violence. The political
mobilisation of these narratives has been an incredibly successful strategy  but one with
unresolved ethical questions and political limitations. The book explores both the successes
and the unresolved questions through feminist archival materials  published narratives of
sexual violence  and mass media and internet sources. It argues that that a rethinking of the
role and place of women's stories and the politics of speaking out is vital for a rethinking of
feminist politics around sexual violence and key to fresh approaches to combating this
violence.
