The article focuses on the book "Vamps and Tramps," by Camille Paglia. In "Vamps and Tramps," Paglia's latest volume of book reviews, essays and interviews, one of America's most popular social critics gathers together virtually everything she's published in the past few years. As the title Vamps and Tramps suggests, Paglia's romanticization of the whore, which is central to her modus operandi as the scarlet woman of the intellectual world, stems from her contempt for that worn, anti-intellectual stereotype, the desexed professional woman-in particular, the desexed academic professional woman.
