The first English edition released alongside the 1978 film ‘Men Can’t Be Raped’. “On her fortieth birthday Eva Randers, library assistant, divorced, living alone, is asked to dance by Marty Wester at a local disco. After a few drinks they go back to his flat, where he proceeds to tie her up, pour liquor over her, and rape her. .. She’s stunned, humiliated, frightened, confused. She doesn’t report it to the police. And she can’t and won’t forget it. Stubbornly and obsessionally she makes her plan to alert the world to her experience…” (from jacket flap)
