Leora Tanenbaum Biography

Leora Tanenbaum is one of the most popular and richest Author who was born on June 3, 1969 in Bronx, New York, United States.

Leora Tanenbaum is an American feminist author and editor known for her writing about girls’ and women’s lives. She is credited with coining the term “slut-bashing” in her 1999 book Slut!: Growing Up Female With a Bad Reputation; the concept has since been mostly known as “slut-shaming.”

In 2002, Tanenbaum turned to the topic of competition and aggression between women in her book Catfight: Rivalries Among Women: From Diets to Dating, From the Boardroom to the Delivery Room. The book draws on academic research, journalistic reporting, fieldwork, and personal experience. It argues that competition between women arises from and perpetuates gender inequality, and that “competing with other women for limited resources and advantages is one of women’s few viable options.” Reviewer Andi Zeisler noted that the book was one of several on relational aggression between women that came out the same year, citing also Rachel Simmons’ Odd Girl Out, Phyllis Chesler’s Woman’s Inhumanity to Woman and Emily White’s Fast Girls.

Tanenbaum came to public attention with the publication of her 1999 book Slut!: Growing Up Female With a Bad Reputation. In it, she addresses the use of the word “slut” as a “perjorative, gender-specific noun” usually applied only to women, while words for promiscuous men (e.g. “Casanova”, “ladies man”, etc.) are generally more approving. The book relates the effect that this double-standard has on girls and women, from the 1950s through the 1990s. In writing it, Tanenbaum drew on her own experiences as a teenager, as well as on interviews with 50 girls and women who had all been labeled as “sluts” in their communities. She found that most of them were not sexually active, but that that such name-calling was commonly used as a form of bullying. She reports on 1993 poll that found that 42 percent of girls “have had sexual rumors spread about them” and said that school systems need to do more to combat this form of harassment. In the book, she coined the phrase “slut- bashing,” which she used to describe a “specific form of student-to-student verbal sexual harassment in which a… girl is bullied because of her perceived or actual sexual behavior.”
