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. She is too weak to hear debate, too soft to speak openly about her experience, and too fragile to expect much from.

Rivka Ketzel Solomon reflects on a childhood defined by her parents’ activism, Ms. magazine, and T&A tv
Article by Rivka Ketzel Solomon, Illustrated by Hugh D Andrade, appeared in issue Fighting Back; published in 1999; filed under Activism; tagged activism, childhood, comics, family, gender roles, media, second wave, socialization, tv, tv women, why pop culture matters, wonder woman.

It didn’t matter that I was a girl hooked on Ms. magazine from the very first year it was out, that I regularly flipped through my mom’s copy of Our Bodies, Ourselves, or that I ravenously collected Wonder Woman comic books.
