Although the figure of the phallic woman is in no sense unique to our age, Every Inch a Woman takes note of a proliferation of phallic feminine figures in disparate North American and European texts from the end of the nineteenth century onward. This multiplication, which continues today, admits of a corresponding multiplicity of motives. The phallic woman can be a ribald joke, a fantastical impossibility, a masculine usurper, an ultimately unthreatening sexual style, an interrogation into the I of the author, or an examination of female culpability. Carellin Brooks takes up the textual figure of the phallic woman where Freud locates it, in the imagined mother that the little boy, in fantasy, credits with a penis of her own. It traces this phallic-woman motif backward to the sexological case study, and forward to newspaper accounts of testosterone-taking third-sexers. Brooks examines both high and low literature, pornography, postmodern theory, and writing that would seem to answer Lacan's injunction to move "beyond the phallus." Witty and engaging, Every Inch a Woman makes an innovative contribution to sexuality, gender, and women's studies, as well as psychoanalytic theory and criticism. 410 0$aSexuality studies series. 606 $aGender identity in literature 606 $aWomen in literature 606 $aPenis in literature 606 $aFemininity in literature 606 $aMasculinity in literature 606 $aFetishism in literature 606 $aLiterature, Modern$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aGender identity in literature. 615 0$aWomen in literature. 615 0$aPenis in literature. 615 0$aFemininity in literature. 615 0$aMasculinity in literature. 615 0$aFetishism in literature. 615 0$aLiterature, Modern$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a809/.93353 700 $aBrooks$b Carellin$01601674 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910813022603321 996 $aEvery inch a woman$93925376 997 $aUNINA
