Yeah, I had to go through "Sexual Personnae" to help write a book review. Dear God, what a mess. Her reading of Blake was, yes, I'll say it, simply evil. However, her career does demonstrate that you can always get a lot of mileage by doing a hatchet job on female academic colleagues.

Like another poster put it, so far as Paglia is concerned "the least said, the better."
