Heather Peterson, a spokeswoman for the Cambridge Women's Pornography Cooperative, said the report corresponds to what she and her colleagues have been preaching. "This is what women love to see.

Estrogen Fuels Female Need For Power And Control

ScienceDaily (May 22, 2008) — New University of Michigan psychology research suggests that the sex hormone estrogen may be for women what testosterone is for men: The fuel of power.

Until recently, some researchers doubted whether women had a biologically anchored need for dominance.

"Women have long been overlooked in biological research on dominance," said psychology researcher Steven Stanton. "Using a male model, the small body of existing research has struggled to link testosterone to dominance motivation and behavior in women.

"However, estrogen is very behaviorally potent and is actually a close hormonal relative to testosterone. In female mammals, estrogen has been tied to dominance, but there has been scant research examining the behavioral roles of estrogen in women."

The study by Oliver Shultheiss, a psychology professor who directs the Human Motivation & Affective Neuroscience Lab, and Stanton, who is completing doctoral work at the lab, was recently detailed in the journal Hormones and Behavior.
