Summary: From the Jacket - "From the statue of Liberty at the gates of New York to the figures of Justice of the Old Bailey, the female form personifies a wide range of idea concepts. in this important and controversial book, Marina Warner - drawing on mythology, epic , poetry, sculpture, painting and popular culture, and often on the art and writing of women themselves - asks fundamental questions about the way in which images of women have been used in representation and symbolism, and how this has affected our ideas of femaleness."
