Angela Carter: Glam Rock Feminist (Roberts)

• "Strongly influenced by surrealism"
• "in her view, male desire dominated the popular imagination"
• "female desire got squeezed, denied, warped and twisted"
• "well able to imagine women as flawed and imperfect"
• "thinking about violence as a form of freedom"
• she was pro-prostitution = reciprocal relationship
• "in which she celebrated the power of the female desire to re-imagine the world and turn it topsy turvy" 
• "a mistress of the baroque" ( The Baroque is a period of artistic style that used exaggerated motion and clear, easily interpreted detail to produce drama, tension, exuberance, and grandeur in sculpture, painting, literature, dance, and music. The style started around 1600 in Rome, Italy and spread to most of Europe.)
