From the author: The present study is the first report of women's sexual aggression gathered from a sample of women in Ufa, Russian Federation. The research question was: do women of different ethnicities, living in the Russian Federation, who are of different economic, social, and marital status, differ in their frequency of sexually aggressive behaviors. One hundred and twenty one primarily single (69.4%), heterosexual (88.4%), middle class (73.6%) women with a mean age of 23.1 (SD = 8.3) completed the questionnaire. Differences is sexually aggressive behaviors were found between women who were married vs. single, middle vs. upper class, Russian vs. Ukrainian, and clerks vs. students. The results provide new evidence of women's sexual aggression outside of the United States and Western Europe. Support was found for previous reports about women's sexual aggression and new possibilities for theory building are presented.
