À propos de cet audio

 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.

WOW! What a read! Camille Paglia cuts through the confederation of dunces on both sides of the political aisle. Was there ever a culture critic more desperately needed? No one gets out alive! Feminists, conservatives and liberals all get called to account. She lays waste to the piffle merchants, the time-wasters, the university careerists and the intellectual Chicken Littles.

She has 40 years of in-depth culture cred to back up every one of her critiques. It’s breathtaking to watch her call on Nefertiti one minute and Robert Maplethorpe the next to bang her points home.

Free thinking people everywhere will rejoice in Camille Paglia’s warrior Feminism. Gift this book to every young woman you know.

Bracing, razor sharp and frequently hilarious.

It was great to hear the text in Paglia's voice with its crackling staccato rhythms. What sets her apart from some other unreadable academic writers is her unusual ability to combine popular culture and a staggering comprehension of Western history in such a fresh and accessible way. I really enjoyed it. I hope she does more and perhaps even includes additional material of her just riffing on various topics.

Fantastic! MORE please!

Though some of the essays are a bit repetitive, this is a powerhouse collection. Camille Paglia's ideas are still explosive today. Her narration is superb. I loved her spontaneous asides and her introductions to each piece. What a pleasure to listen to!
