This paper describes "Wild Swans" as a story about the sexual violence that is perpetuated against women that passes so subtly in our society. Rose sits on a train ride, during which a self-described minister gropes her throughout the ride. She cannot take a stand against him, because she knows that the abuse is hidden and that her outcry will be deafened by an indifferent society. 8 pgs. 0 f/c. 1b.
