Summary

This pioneering volume is the first to examine in depth the sensitive and controversial topic of female sexual aggression. Working from a range of theoretical perspectives, contributors challenge prevailing stereotypes of women as passive or resistant participants in heterosexual interaction, and men as initiators or aggressors. Like men, the book proposes, many women are clearly interested in sex and some are sexually aggressive. Bringing much-needed attention to ethical, political, and conceptual questions surrounding this neglected area of inquiry, this volume is rich with insights that will enhance clinical work and set new directions for future research.

Author Biography

Peter B. Anderson, PhD, is an associate professor of health and human sexuality education in the Department of Human Performance and Health Promotion at the University of New Orleans. Dr. Anderson received his doctorate from the human sexuality program of the Department of Health Education at New York University. He and Deborah Richie, MA (health educator at the McKinley Health Center, University of Illinois at Champaign/Urbana), are the only alumni of the program who later became leaders of the international study portion of NYU's program in human sexuality. In the summers of 1992 and 1994, Dr. Anderson and Ms. Richie (with Dr. Robert Francoeur in 1992) took students from NYU to Copenhagen, Denmark, to study cross-cultural issues in human sexuality. This is Dr. Anderson's second edited volume. Dr. Anderson has worked, published, and studied in the area of human sexuality for the past 25 years.

Cindy Struckman-Johnson, PhD, received her doctorate in social psychology from the University of Kentucky at Lexington. She is presently a professor of psychology at the University of South Dakota, where she teaches courses in social psychology, sex roles, and sexuality. Dr. Struckman-Johnson is the recipient of numerous teaching awards and has gained special recognition for her course, "Understanding the Sexes." In collaboration with David Struckman-Johnson, she presently conducts research on sexual coercion of men in campus and prison settings, persuasive appeals for condom use, and seat-belt safety. Dr. Struckman-Johnson has served as a consulting editor for the Journal of Sex Research. In 1997, the Society for the Scientific Study of Sex awarded Cindy and David Struckman-Johnson the Beigel Award for research excellence for their work on sexual coercion of men and women in prison.
