In this road map to restoring feminine sexual power, Betsy Prioleau introduces and analyzes the stories and stratagems of history's greatest seductresses. These are the women who ravished the world—from such classic figures as Cleopatra and Mae West to such lesser-known women as the infamous Violet Gordon Woodhouse, who lived in a ménage with four men. Smarts, imagination, courage, and killer charm helped these love maestras claim the men of their choice and keep them fascinated for life. Through an exposé of their secrets, Seductress provides an authoritative, empowering guide to erotic sovereignty.
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The seductress is a scarlet inkblot, a Rorschach of our deepest sexual fears and fantasies. She’s the blond bimbette in a string bikini; the stacked vamp in Spandex; the Chanel-suited nymphobitch of Sullivan Cromwell. But we’ve been gulled by chimeras, and we need to demystify and rehabilitate this lost tribe of sexy potentates. #2 The seductress is a modern-day embodiment of the original sex divinity. She is a alpha plus woman with charisma, who combines the steamy sexuality of the prehistorical deity with the numinous shazam we call charisma. #3 The first and most insidious falsehood is that seductresses must be young and beautiful. However, a survey of the tragic love lives of beauty icons and the current singles scene reveals that number ten glamour girls are manless. #4 The myth that old women are not attractive is based on the fact that senior women are rarely portrayed in popular culture as being sexually appealing. However, old women possess some of the most potent erotic weaponry in the book.

Feminist Theory and the Bible: Interrogating the Sources conceptualizes, contextualizes and maps a new kind of burgeoning scholarship that has grown up in recent decades. This scholarship emerged in the margins of Feminist Studies and Biblical Studies and has yet to find a foothold in either one of these more established contexts. In this book, Esther Fuchs argues that in order to find an enduring, stable place in the academe, this scholarship requires a theoretical perspective. Biblical Studies as a whole has not yet been sufficiently theorized as an academic field, and currently consists of multiple disciplines relying for the most part on traditional scholarly discourses. In this regard, Feminist Biblical Studies is both a departure from and an important supplement to both Feminist Studies and Biblical Studies.
