Career[edit]
Newman founded the independent publishing company Cleis Press,[1][2] alongside Frédérique Delacoste in 1980.

It articulates a spectrum of theoretical perspectives and empirical evidence on female resistance to male violence, providing a nuanced analysis of the complexities involved in these interactions.
Cleis Press has published more than 200 books on sexuality, feminism, and gender. The company has developed and edited books on sex by authors including Susie Bright, Tristan Taormino, Violet Blue, Patrick Califia, and Annie Sprinkle.
