The Collapsible Woman

Cultural response to rape and sexual abuse
Article by Vanessa Veselka, appeared in issue Fighting Back; published in 1999; filed under Activism; tagged media, mental health, post-traumatic stress disorder, rape, recovery, sexual abuse, victimization.

the collapsible woman—one model of mental health for an uncountable number of individuals.

This definition doesn’t come close to accounting for the grit and character that can be found among us.
