Zella Luria

Zella Luria (; February 18, 1924 – June 10, 2018) was an American psychologist and feminist known for her work on the development of gender identity and sexuality across the life course. Her work helped to shift the field towards a cognitive approach that emphasized the social construction of gender and the active role of children in such construction.

Luria taught at Tufts University from 1959 to 2002. She co-authored the textbook ''Psychology of Human Sexuality'' (1979), later reissued as ''Human Sexuality'' (2nd ed. 1987) and was an associate editor of the journal ''Archives of Sexual Behavior''. Luria was a Fellow of the American Psychological Association and the American Psychological Society. Provided by Wikipedia
