Publisher Description
From the fiery intellectual provocateur— and one of our most fearless advocates of gender equality—a brilliant, urgent essay collection that both celebrates modern feminism and challenges us to build an alliance of strong women and strong men.
Ever since the release of her seminal first book, Sexual Personae, Camille Paglia has remained one of feminism’s most outspoken, independent, and searingly intelligent voices. Now, for the first time, her best essays on the subject are gathered together in one concise volume. Whether she’s calling for equal opportunity for American women (years before the founding of the National Organization for Women), championing a more discerning standard of beauty that goes beyond plastic surgery’s quest for eternal youth, lauding the liberating force of rock and roll, or demanding free and unfettered speech on university campuses and beyond, Paglia can always be counted on to get to the heart of matters large and small. At once illuminating, witty, and inspiring, these essays are essential reading that affirm the power of men and women and what we can accomplish together.
Customer Reviews
Paglia is extraordinary
She is a thinker of rare insight and originality. She is unapologetic. It’s a shame that Apple Books description wants to condition you to not take her seriously and focus on her writing style (come on, Apple, leave your opinions to yourself). The magnitude of ideas and depth of knowledge is remarkable.
One of the best books to listen to because it is read by Paglia herself. Her style wakes you up from the intellectual slumber.
