    “Although Paglia is still sourly considered "declassé" in academic circles (a professor in my MFA studies scoffed when I referenced her in a paper), it cannot be denied that she is one of the most incisive, exciting, and well-rounded writers of our time. Just reading Sexual Personae will make you a better writer, a better thinker, and a more interesting human being.”
