ana-

Omar looked at me, stopped crying and asked me,(Arabic) "Ana batal?""I'm a hero?"

while conducting research on sexual assault.Ana told me:"I had gone with the girls in the office to the same pub we always go to.

where people, regardless of their age, ethnicity, body type,saw themselves in Ana.A 17-year-old chubby Mexican American girl

it was a role that required me to be exactly who I was.Ana in "Real Women Have Curves"was a brown, poor, fat Latina.

because she wasn't sure if what happened to her qualified as rape.Ana believed, like most of us,that rape is more like armed robbery --
