	BLOOM, HAROLD ED. / MARY MCCARTHY, GERTRUDE STEIN, EUDORA WELTY, ANAIS NIN, ET AL Women Memoirists Volume Two - Women Writers of English and Their Works Series Pennsylvania: Chelsea House Pub, 1998. 1998 Printing.

Never opened, Never owned , Never read ... * Please Note, this last one has a red feltpen line bottom page edges which has gone through in little bits to some of the inside page edges , so does not meet our usual criteria for new books and is priced accordingly ... Still clean and unread and more than serviceable for reading and study ... Jacket protected in New non-stick clear mylar sleeve ... 185 pages ... How does one tell one's life story? ... And how much of it does one tell? ... The 20 women in this volume address these questions quite differently ... Anais Nin, for example, envelops us with more than 1,900 meticulously detailed diary pages, while Gertrude Stein carefully crafts an "autobiography," the title of which - The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas - includes her lover's name but omits any mention of her own ... Aside from diaries and autobiographies, these women use letters, journals, and an array of hybrid forms to tell their tales ... in some instances, their letters had initially been intended only for the receiver's eyes; in some cases their journals began only as a therapeutic release for the writer ... other memoirs are clearly edited and rewritten for public consumption, causing the reader to questoion: Whose life am I reading - Kate Millett's or the fictional Kate Millett's? ... It is a curious question, explored by numerous critics within this text, as well as by the women themselves within the very works being examined ... Ultimately, it is a rephrasing of the timeless question that confronts us all - Who am I? ... Writers include: Anne Morrow Lindbergh ... Mary McCarthy ... Kate Millett ... Anais Nin ... Hester Thrale Piozzi ... May Sarton ... Gertrude Stein ... Eudora Welty ... Jade Snow Wong ... Virginia Woolf ...

Brand new from publisher ... Never opened, Never owned ... long blue feltpen mark bottom edge ... Still Nice Clean Gift Giving quality ... This is a handsome book, Black & White two-tone boards, with red metallic gilt titles impressed on spine, in matching black & red titled white jacket ... Nymphomania ... suffered by nymphomaniacs ... is an organic disese, a psychological disorder, a legal defense , and a locker-room joke ... Throughout history, it's been all these and more ... Today images of sexually available women permeate our culture ... and curiosity about nymphomania appears to be as insatiable as the sterotypical nymphomaniac herself ... Doctors in the 19th century treated nymphomania as an organic disease, while in this century , psychologists and psychoanalysts have looked to low self-esteem , or an unresolved Oedipal complex, to try to explain it ... Nymphomania found its way into courtrooms when defense attorneys tried to paint some rape victims as so sexually twisted that they had merely fantasized a sexual attack ... or even as so sexually voracious that they provoked it ... Some sex experts dismiss the label ' nymphomania ' altogether ... Kinsey claimed that a nymphomaniac was simply " someone who has more sex than you do " ... Contemporary popular culture considers a woman's desire for sex so healthy that ' nympho ' can be a teasing compliment ... At the same time, female sexual addiction has captured the public's imagination ... and entered the therapist's vocabulary ... Professor Carol Groneman, of John Jay College, City University of New York, follows the idea of nymphomania for the last 200 years, in this fascinating book, unravelling questions about how much is too much sex for woman ... and who gets to decide that question ...

Still clean and unread and more than serviceable for reading and study ... Jacket protected in New non-stick clear mylar sleeve ... 185 pages ... How does one tell one's life story? ... And how much of it does one tell? ... The 20 women in this volume address these questions quite differently ... Anais Nin, for example, envelops us with more than 1,900 meticulously detailed diary pages, while Gertrude Stein carefully crafts an "autobiography," the title of which - The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas - includes her lover's name but omits any mention of her own ... Aside from diaries and autobiographies, these women use letters, journals, and an array of hybrid forms to tell their tales ... in some instances, their letters had initially been intended only for the receiver's eyes; in some cases their journals began only as a therapeutic release for the writer ... other memoirs are clearly edited and rewritten for public consumption, causing the reader to questoion: Whose life am I reading - Kate Millett's or the fictional Kate Millett's? ... It is a curious question, explored by numerous critics within this text, as well as by the women themselves within the very works being examined ... Ultimately, it is a rephrasing of the timeless question that confronts us all - Who am I? ... Writers include: Anne Morrow Lindbergh ... Mary McCarthy ... Kate Millett ... Anais Nin ... Hester Thrale Piozzi ... May Sarton ... Gertrude Stein ... Eudora Welty ... Jade Snow Wong ... Virginia Woolf ...

This is a handsome book, Black & White two-tone boards, with red metallic gilt titles impressed on spine, in matching black & red titled white jacket ... Nymphomania ... suffered by nymphomaniacs ... is an organic disese, a psychological disorder, a legal defense , and a locker-room joke ... Throughout history, it's been all these and more ... Today images of sexually available women permeate our culture ... and curiosity about nymphomania appears to be as insatiable as the sterotypical nymphomaniac herself ... Doctors in the 19th century treated nymphomania as an organic disease, while in this century , psychologists and psychoanalysts have looked to low self-esteem , or an unresolved Oedipal complex, to try to explain it ... Nymphomania found its way into courtrooms when defense attorneys tried to paint some rape victims as so sexually twisted that they had merely fantasized a sexual attack ... or even as so sexually voracious that they provoked it ... Some sex experts dismiss the label ' nymphomania ' altogether ... Kinsey claimed that a nymphomaniac was simply " someone who has more sex than you do " ... Contemporary popular culture considers a woman's desire for sex so healthy that ' nympho ' can be a teasing compliment ... At the same time, female sexual addiction has captured the public's imagination ... and entered the therapist's vocabulary ... Professor Carol Groneman, of John Jay College, City University of New York, follows the idea of nymphomania for the last 200 years, in this fascinating book, unravelling questions about how much is too much sex for woman ... and who gets to decide that question ...
