About this title: A stunning inquiry into the idea of woman as seductress: how, in many areas of the 20th-century high and popular culture, the female came to be portrayed as a regressive, primitive force whose sexuality could destroy the social order, undermining the supremacy of the white male--and the devastating historical effects of this portrayal.
