'Woman is the being who casts the greatest shadow or the greatest light in our dreams' Baudelaire, 1924
Revising Gender and Surrealism. Interesting but nothing new, poor old females being both erotic and dangerous. Women in Surrealism were not so much artists but muses - erotic objects in which the sub conscious could be accessed. Still, it also opened up a new realm in art in which women could explore how they are perceived and how to portray themselves.. Loads of other fun stuff - like violence and the sacred - good old Bataille. Loved the slaughterhouses,etc. Thought shit and god were equated, both could be sacred.

Eli Lotar, 'La Villette Slaughterhouse' 1929
'The curse (terrifying to those who utter it) leads them to vegetate as far as possible from the slaughterhouse, to excile themselves, out of propriety, to a flabby world in which nothing fearful remains and in which, subject to the eradicable obsession of shame, they are reduced to eating cheese.' Bataille, Slaughterhouse. http://www.jstor.org/stable/info/778539?seq=1 (images and article, read it it's short)

Great cover and images, not so sure about the inside, looks a bit like the national geographic with swearing.
