How to Say No to a Rapist and Survive
How to Say No to a Rapist and Survive is a book by Frederic Storaska that was published by Random House in 1975. The book, which stressed that potential victims try a variety of non-physical techniques such as feigning pregnancy, vomiting, and trying to outwit the attacker,[1] received mixed reception. It was praised by The Sioux City Journal, praised it as "well-written and relevant reading", and complimented Storaska's emphasis on treating the rapist not as a monster but as a human being.[2] Kirkus Reviews criticized the writing.[3] Anatole Broyard of The New York Times Book Review wrote, "his common-sensical recommendations would seem to apply in any case".[4] Author Frederic Storaska was a prolific lecturer on the subject of rape prevention.[5] A film of the same title was released in 1975.[6] The author's qualifications and expertise were criticized in 1976.[7][8] Fred Bruning of Newsday noted that Storaska was without credentials or publications in scholarly journals and found that a number of experts were skeptical of his views.[1] The book and its author received additional attention when a woman who had seen the film followed its advice and was nearly raped.[6] References
