Camille Anna Paglia is an American social critic, author and teacher. Her book, Sexual Personae: Art and Decadence from Nefertiti to Emily Dickinson, published in 1990, became a bestseller. She is a professor of humanities and media studies at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
She has been variously called the “feminist that other feminists love to hate,” a “post-feminist feminist,” one of the world’s top 100 intellectuals by the UK’s Prospect Magazine, and by her own description “a feminist bisexual egomaniac.”
What is this book about?
The bestselling author of Sexual Personae and Sex, Art, and American Culture is back with a fiery new collection of essays on everything from art and celebrity to gay activism, Lorena Bobbitt to Bill and Hillary. These essays have never appeared in book form, with many appearing in print for the first time.
