Abstract

construction of female sexuality? Is social construction negative only? With 29 pages of references from an enormous variety of sources, this book is extremely well documented. Moreover, Daniluk takes the time to refer her readers to other sources for topics beyond the scope of her book, such as concerns of lesbian and bisexual women, and women with disabilities. She is very much aware of the fact that most literature on female sexuality is based on White, heterosexual, EuropeanAmerican women, and she calls attention to sources on diverse groups of women when available. Both of these books have a place in the ever-expanding literature on female sexuality. One addresses females as aggressors, the other females as victims. Depending on the reader's purpose, each book is well worth consideration.
