At the age of seventeen, Sohaila Abdulali was gang-raped in Mumbai. She wrote an essay for an Indian women's magazine, asking how we view rape and rape victims because she was outraged by the lack of discussion of the subject in India. In the wake of the tragic gang rape that occurred in Delhi in 2012 and the ensuing worldwide outcry, her story became viral thirty years later. Abdulali wrote a highly read op-ed piece titled "After Being Raped, I Was Wounded; My Honor Wasn't" in the New York Times in 2013. What We Talk About When We Talk About Rape is a wonderful and wholly unique contribution to our understanding at this time when the #metoo and #timesup movements are breaking open the conversation about sexual assault and rape.
