Sexual personae: Arte e decadenza da Nefertiti a Emily Dickinson

The book covers so many different eras and styles—I'm curious how she chose which artworks and periods to focus on and what her guiding inspiration was.

Her perspectives challenge some mainstream ideas, and I found myself questioning which arguments I agreed with and which made me uncomfortable.

Paglia's academic and cultural perspective seems unique—I'm wondering how her personal history shaped her analysis and framing of art history.
