Synopsis

This book explores the historical portrayal of women as dangerous seductresses in 20th-century high and popular culture. It examines how female sexuality was depicted as a primitive force capable of destroying social order and undermining white male supremacy. The analysis traces these distorted ideas through film, literature, and art, revealing their devastating convergence with misogyny, racism, and nationalist politics, including the rise of Hitler's Mein Kampf and the politics of genocide.
