Drawing on interviews conducted with victims of New Zealand serial rapist, Malcolm Rewa, this article highlights the limitations of the terms resistance and survival as they are typically applied to women’s responses to rape attacks. Although acknowledging that formulations that stress women’s abilities to resist and their capacities to survive have been critically important in challenging popular notions of women as passive victims, the women’s accounts presented here suggest a need to question whether such formulations are adequate to reflect the complexity and diversity of women’s responses to sexual assaults. Apreliminary attempt is also made to explore the implications associated with embracing expanded understandings of what resistance and survival might mean.
