by Christopher Cloke (Author)
In this study, the testimony of survivors and of professionals who have worked with them and with abusers, bears witness to sexual abuse of children by women. The book argues that abuse by women has remained a taboo subject because it undermines perceptions about how women should relate to children, and does not fit the received wisdom that sexual abuse is a product of male power and aggression, and has even been seen as an anti-feminist concept.
