520 |a "In the beginning there was woman: plural by nature, by turns an object of love, fascination, and fear. From Venus of Willendorf - a primal image of an all-powerful female ideal - to Niki de Saint-Phalle's Bride, which presents the views of a contemporary woman artist on the female condition, the history of art has, since earliest times, been indelibly stamped by the never-ending quest for the eternal feminine." "Mythical figures, guardian spirits, adoring heroines, these women can be cruel or tender, sometimes ambitious, but always enchanting: a danger to others and themselves alike." "Examining a vast gallery of female lovers and femmes fatales, Laure Adler and Elisa Lecosse decode a history that has been told and controlled by men for too long. In an exploration of the archetypes and principles of art history and of their subversion over the ages, they offer an analysis of woman's slow acquisition of the right to love in her own way and to be the mistress of her body and her desires." --Book Jacket.
