Author: Kaplan, Louise J.
Condition: New
Combining feminist, Freudian, and literary perspectives, Dr. Kaplan has created a new template for developing ideas about the nature of female perversion. Women are socialized to collaborate with prevailing gender stereotypes, she argues. Accordingly, they devise strategies to hide what she calls "stolen phallic trophies"--intellectual mastery and erotic strivings--perverse strategies that often caricature their femininity. Female perversions. Dr. Kaplan's vision, welcomed by popular and professional audiences alike and nominated for a National Book Critics Circle Award, has now inspired a major motion picture from October Films starring Tilda Swinton and Amy Madigan.
