EDITORS COMMENTS
"This powerful image captures the essence of The Courage to Heal: A Guide for Women Survivors of Child Sexual Abuse, a groundbreaking book that fueled the American abuse scare of the late 1980s and 1990s. Authored by Ellen Bass and Laura Davis, this seminal work provided a safe space for women to share their experiences of child sexual abuse and offered a roadmap for healing. Published in 1988, The Courage to Heal came at a time when the issue of child sexual abuse was largely taboo, and survivors were often silenced or blamed. The book's release marked a turning point in the national conversation, leading to increased awareness, education, and support for survivors. The image shows a woman, her eyes closed and a determined look on her face, holding the book in her hands. The title is clearly visible, and the cover art depicts a tree with roots reaching deep into the earth, symbolizing the healing process. The American flag in the background serves as a reminder of the cultural context in which the book was published. The Courage to Heal became a bestseller and sparked a wave of similar works, support groups, and advocacy efforts. It played a significant role in shaping the way society views child sexual abuse and the healing process for survivors. The book's impact is still felt today, as it continues to inspire and empower women to speak out and seek help." Mary Evans Prints Online / Bridgeman Images. Rights Managed.
