Behind the Mask Summary

Behind the Mask: Destruction and Creativity in Women's Aggression by Dana Crowley Jack

Behind the Mask Reviews

This study challenges traditional views of aggression as a simple destructive impulse of a personal trait that is predominantly male. For women, Jack finds, aggression arises out of a need or desire to establish intimate connections with others. She deftly combines a feminist power perspective with psychological insights to explain a wide variety of societal problems like sexual harassment, eating disorders, depression, difficulties for women in traditional male occupations, and domestic violence...This original, extensively referenced analysis broadens our understanding of aggression.--Antoinette Brinkman "Library Journal "
