From the on-line Library;
(I'm kind of pissed off. I have a need to run to base. Andrea is where I go sometimes. This site has enough excerpts to remind me why I get pissed, why I need to continue to fight. No turning back, no giving in.)

"Woman as Victim:
Story of O
The Story of O, by Pauline Reage, incorporates, along with all literary pornography, principles and characters already isolated in my discussion of children's fairy tales. The female as a figure of innocence and evil enters the adult world--the brutal world of genitalia. The female manifests in her adult form--c***. She emerges defined by the hole between her legs. In addition, Story of O is more than simple pornography. It claims to define epistemologically what a woman is, what she needs, her processes of thinking and feeling, her proper place. It links men and women in an erotic dance of some magnitude: the sado-masochistic complexion of O is not trivial--it is formulated as a cosmic principle which articulates, absolutely, the feminine."
