From the fiery intellectual provocateur and one of our most fearless advocates of gender equalitya 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 feminisms 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 shes 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 surgerys 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.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

As always, my deepest thanks go to LuAnn Walther, who has been my editor since 1990, when she acquired the paperback rights for my first book, Sexual Personae, for Vintage Books. It was her bold idea to separate the most representative of my articles and lectures on sex, gender, and feminism from the mass of my other writings on culture and society. (Material since my last essay collection in 1994 will appear in a future volume.) I am profoundly grateful for her decades of unflagging support, understanding, and advice.

Catherine Tung smoothly coordinated all in-house aspects of the intense preparation of this book. Her admirable precision and tireless help, particularly during the thorny permissions phase, were absolutely indispensable to the timely completion of this project. Altie Karper, Cat Courtade, and Maria Massey oversaw the production process with superb attention to detail. It is a distinct privilege to be a beneficiary of Michael Lionstars wonderful author photos. For many years now, I have been most fortunate to enjoy the master strategies and witty conversation of two ace publicists at Knopf Doubleday, Josefine Taylor Kals at Pantheon and David Archer at Vintage.

My heartfelt gratitude goes to the visionary editors who commissioned many of the controversial pieces in this book, when it was often risky for them to do so. Leading the list are Herbert Golder and Nicholas Poburko at Arion; David Shipley, then at The New York Times; Max Boot, then at The Wall Street Journal; Alexander Kafka at The Chronicle of Higher Education; Ryan Sager, then at Time; and David Daley, then at Salon.com.

My agent, Lynn Nesbit, has been a near-oracular source of advice and guidance for a quarter century now. Dorothy Vincent at Janklow & Nesbit Associates remains a paragon of wise counsel. Finally, fervent thanks are due to my friends, allies, and family members (in alphabetical order) who have been so loyal and supportive over the decades: Gunter Axt, Glenn Belverio, Robert Caserio, Lisa Chedekel, Kent Christensen, John DeWitt, Matt Drudge, Kristoffer Jacobson, Ann Jamison, Mitchell Kunkes, Kristen Lippincott, Alison Maddex, Lucien Maddex, Lenora Paglia, Christina Hoff Sommers, and Francesca Stanfill.
