History of Feminism

It's heartbreaking to know that this stuff goes on and that it is kept secret because the child is usually terrified.

What a brave young woman.

I remember when Marilyn Van Derbur (Miss America 1958) went public about her sexual abuse at the hand of her father. It was unbelievable that this lovely, talented, accomplished woman had been through the same kind of abuse during all her childhood.

In this long-awaited book, Marilyn Van Derbur, a former Miss America, tells the story of how she was sexually violated by her prominent, millionaire father from age 5 to age 18. She was 53 years old before she was able to speak the words in public, “I am an incest survivor.”

She opened the door for tens of thousands of sexual abuse survivors to also speak the words, many for the first time, within their own families and communities. https://www.missamericabyday.com/
