In 'A Room of One's Own', Virginia Woolf satirically describes her perplexity at the bulging card catalog of the British Museum: why, she asks, are there so many books written by men about women but none by women about men? The answer to her question is that from the beginning of time men have been struggling with the threat of woman's dominance.

— Camille Paglia Sexual Personae: Art and Decadence from Nefertiti to Emily Dickinson (1990)
