In an exploration of the complex relations between women and the modern, this work challenges conventional male-centred theories of modernity. It examines the gendered meanings of such notions as nostalgia, consumption, feminine writing, the popular sublime, evolution, revolution and perversion.
Note:
Introduction - myths of the modern; modernity and feminism; on nostalgia - the prehistoric woman; imagined pleasures - the erotics and aesthetics of consumption; masking masculinity - the feminization of writing; love, God, and the Orient - reading the popular sublime; visions of the new - feminist discourses of evolution and revolution; the art of perversion - female sadists and male cyborgs; afterword - rewriting the modern.
