Demographic Information about Respondents -- Notes -- References -- IndexHard to Get is a powerful and intimate examination of the sex and love lives of the most liberated women in history-twenty-something American women who have had more opportunities, more positive role models, and more information than any previous generation. Drawing from her years of experience as a researcher and a psychotherapist, Leslie C. Bell takes us directly into the lives of young women who struggle to negotiate the complexities of sexual desire and pleasure, and to make sense of their historically unique but contradictory constellation of opportunities and challenges. In candid interviews, Bell's subjects reveal that, despite having more choices than ever, they face great uncertainty about desire, sexuality, and relationships. Ground-breaking and highly readable, Hard to Get offers fascinating insights into the many ways that sex, love, and satisfying relationships prove surprisingly elusive to these young women as they navigate the new emotional landscape of the 21st century.Young womenSexual behaviorSexual freedomMan-woman relationshipsSexual ethicsWomenIdentityamerican women.anthropology.candid interviews.committed relationship.dating.engaging.family.female empowerment.feminism.gender studies.gender.intimacy.liberated women.men and women.page turner.personal.psychology.realistic.relationships.satisfying relationships.sexual desire.sexual freedom.sexuality studies.sexuality.social science.social.sociology.strong women.twenty something.women.womens issues.womens studies.young women.Young womenSexual behavior.Sexual freedom.Man-woman relationships.Sexual ethics.WomenIdentity.176.4Bell Leslie C.1970-1573239MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910779362503321Hard to get3848884UNINA
