"Bram Dijkstra begins his analysis with the 1915 silent film A Fool There Was, in which Theda Bara first embodied our century's vision of the Vamp - kohl-eyed and predatory, seducing respectable men and destroying them with her voracious appetite. Dijkstra makes clear that this wasn't just a vision conjured up by a misogynistic artist but was a point of view shared by turn-of-the-century biologists, gynecoligists, psychologists, geneticists, and sociologists, all of whom promoted distorted ideas of gender, sex, and race". Book about Femme Fatale & Misogyny. Time Period 20th Century. (Ideas, Femininity, Gender Issues, Popular Culture, Racial Issues, Racism, Sexuality, Women).
