Drawing upon extensive research and interviews, Dellasega outlines how women can change their behavior successfully by shifting away from aggression and embracing a spirit of cooperation in interactions with others. Even if these behaviors have plagued you since adolescence, this book will help you let go of aggression or passivity, move on, and create relationships that are healthier and happier for you and the women around you.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>CHERYL DELLASEGA, PH.D., </b> is a professor in the College of Medicine and the Department of Humanities at Pennsylvania State University.
