These are some of the books on rape which can be borrowed from the
library at the Brisbane Rape and Incest Survivors
Support Centre.
If your local library does not have the books you want, ask a librarian
to order them in. Women's bookstores stock a large range of books on
rape, surviving and healing from sexual violence, and feminism.
Having access to books which help us to understand and heal from our
experiences of sexual violence is an important means of breaking our
isolation from each other and breaking the silence about rape.
