From the supplier: Angela Carter's 'The Sadeian Woman' has been wrongly interpreted as a text of postmodernist aesthetics despite its evident preoccupation with a feminist redefinition of women. Carter wrote the book at a time when she had started questioning the validity of myth and so in this text she expresses an understanding of Sade's willingness to let women step beyond defined roles. Though Carter has feminist concerns about pornography, she uses the Sadeian woman to emphasize that women can play powerful social roles.
