Thanks for the response, Tina. Sometimes I wonder if college might be even worse for young women now. A few women called or wrote after reading this essay and said it helped them to reach out now to seek help for trauma issues they've experienced.
What a powerful and horrifying story Kirie. So important to put this out there, even though I imagine it was hard to write.
There was a lot of bad stuff that I just assumed came with being a young woman, because no one was talking about it, back then. Recently I read Chantal Miller's book which made me realize not much has changed since I was in college. I mistakenly thought it had.
The whole thing with the Memoir Project makes me furious.
a compound fracture of tragedies...no words, just ancient tears.
Thank you, Susan.
Great story that speaks to the moment.
Yes, those recent survivors help me understand my story, and to offer support for what the word survivor entails.
