the Sadeian Feminist
Angela Carter (1940-1992) has written a feminist reading of the Marquis De Sade.

She is able to demonstrate that sexuality is constructed not from gender but rather form a relationship between power and politics. A must-read feminist classic.

This review is from: The Sadeian Woman: And the Ideology of Pornography (Paperback)
A very thoughtful book which puts Sade's work in a whole new light. Thoughtful, evenhanded and intelligent. This one is worth the read for anyone interested in going beyond the superficial with Sade. There is a lot of nonsensence about him -- finally, someone with something important to say!

Really, I just wish Marquis de Sade's work would be swept under some carpet and never be read.
