Paglia's power trip

Article Abstract:

Paglia's two books, 'Sexual Personae' and 'Sex, Art, and American Culture,' have generated controversy over the roles women play in society. Although she considers herself a feminist, she is highly critical of the feminist movement and how liberated women have alienated themselves socially from men.

Article Abstract:
