Camille Anna Paglia is an American social critic, intellectual, author, and teacher. She is a professor of humanities and media studies at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She has been variously called the “feminist that other feminists love to hate”, a “post-feminist feminist”, one of the world’s top 100 intellectuals by the U.K.’s “Prospect Magazine”, and by her own description “a feminist bisexual egomaniac”.

She came to public attention in 1990, with the publication of her first book, “Sexual Personae: Art and Decadence from Nefertiti to Emily Dickinson”. Paglia has written a column for “Salon.com” from its inception in 1995. She is a contributing editor at “Interview” magazine, and is on the editorial board of the classics and humanities journal “Arion”. At present, she is writing her third collection of essays and a companion piece to “Break, Blow, Burn”, dealing with the visual arts rather than poetry.
