I used to have a copy of Sex, Art, etc. I gave it a friend who is a hopeless devotee of Gloria Steinem and her ilk. I don't think she was swayed.

What was the full title of Sexual Personae? Wasn't it Sexual Personae: Art and Decadence from Nefertiti to Emily Dickinson? I read it (or most of it) a few years ago and thought it was an interesting read. Paglia has a baroque mind. She weaves together symbols from ancient art and links them with modern icons. I find her approach fascinating. She's a lot smarter than the Left's favorite semiotician, Umberto Eco.

She is certainly controversial, I'm surprised anyone would lump her in with the neoconservatives.
