Insights: Culture—Women Behind the Throne
Today's female politicians can learn a lot from the women of the eighteenth-century French court
Camille Paglia
From the Print Edition:
Kevin Bacon, May/Jun 00
(continued from page 2)
If they are ever to be leaders of nations, women must stop using men as the path to power and prestige. Pillow talk--the language of the boudoir--is no longer enough. The reactionary personae of queen or courtesan should be jettisoned. The new woman of the Twenty-first century will master the political system on her own.
Camille Paglia is a professor of humanities at The University of the Arts in Philadelphia and a columnist for Salon.com.
