"Flirting with Danger is well worth the read and is likely to
stimulate lively discussion in the classroom. Phillips has a good
ear for narrative and a keen sense of the uncertainties and
competing forces that shape heterosexual relationships for
contemporary young women."
--"Psychology of Women Quarterly"
"Based on in-depth individual and collective interviews with a
racialy and culturally diverse sampe of college-aged women,
Flirting with Danger sheds light on the cultural lenses through
which young women interpret their sexual encounters and their
experiences of male aggression in heterosexual
relationships."
--"Adolescence"
In Flirting with Danger, Lynn M. Phillips explores how young
women make sense of, resist, and negotiate conflicting cultural
messages about sexual agency, responsibility, aggression, and
desire. How do women develop their ideas about sex, love, and
domination? Why do they express feminist views condemning male
violence in the abstract, but often adamantly refuse to name their
own violent and exploitive encounters as abuse, rape, or
victimization?
Based on in-depth individual and collective interviews with a
racially and culturally diverse sample of college-aged women,
Flirting with Danger sheds valuable light on the cultural lenses
through which young women interpret their sexual encounters and
their experiences of male aggression in heterosexual
relationships.
Phillips makes an important contribution to the fields of female
and adolescent sexuality, feminist theory, and feminist method. The
volume will also be of particular use to advocates seeking to
design prevention and intervention programs which speak to the
complex needs of womengrappling with questions of sexuality and
violence.
