"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 n' 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. Illuminating, witty, and inspiring. Essential reading that affirm the power of men and women and what we can accomplish together" (Publisher's blurb). An absolute "must-have" title for Camille Paglia collectors. <b><i> This Autographed Copy is very boldly and beautifully signed in black pen on the title page by Camille Paglia.
