Know Camille Paglia, that brilliant feminist provocateur?
She, too, loves the "Real Housewives of New Jersey."
Scroll through here to find her take on it.
Don't bother me tonight, Episode 3 of the reunion is on.

Gosh - loved Sexual Personae. At the time of it's publication, she was attacked for her viewpoints. But I thought, at a time of incredible political pressure, she went against the grain and said some damn brave stuff. She defended Madonna and Elizabeth Taylor
ReplyDeleteYep--I love her.
ReplyDeleteI remember the Naomi Wolf challenges but I also remember another woman who had a rather LARGE tome based on feminism (early 90's) ...a name like Fulicia or...do you remember her?
ReplyDeleteThis from an earlier conversation I never got back to you on. It's a really interesting article covering process, style, biography, demons, religion etc. I'd be curious as to what you think.

Whoah! Looking forward to the link.
DeleteYou're thinking of Susan Faludi--and I thought her book Backlash was great. I'm not sure it remains current/relevant.
