Abstract
This study aims to identify the impact of the traumatic experience of the main character in novel Speak, Melinda Sordino, and how she overcomes with her trauma from sexual abuse. Rape is an expression of a violent culture that uses gender stereotyping among other forms of oppression to justify the brutalization of the victim, mostly women. Rape Culture has become a popular term in which society blamed victims of sexual assault and normalized male sexual violence, as referred by Speak. This study is a qualitative research using the point of view of radical feminist, Kate Millett‘s, to analyze sexual abuse. In feminist perspective, women have been silenced, ashamed and threatened for becoming the victim of sexual harassment over the past years because they live in a patriarchal society where the world have always been dominated by the men. The researcher finds that Melinda is an example of the society misconceptions on how sexual violence should be treated. Melinda experienced both psychological and emotional trauma such as depression, anxiety, excessive self-consciousness, losing trust and self mutilation. Later, Melinda, as a survivor, finds that she can not keep being silent to overcome her trauma. She drastically changes how she sees herself and how others see her. She starts planning her future plan to be more independent and communicative with her surroundings.
