Gaslight

Her adversaries have been many, and formidable. Those who dictated the ideal shape of her female body and the correct dimensions of her sexuality as she emerged from a childhood in the south, ensnared in sexual exploitation and a spiral of anorexia. The teachers who attempted to extinguish her ambition and identity as a creative artist -- because female writing could not possibly rise above the trivial. The politics of art and sexuality that continue to litter her path as a lesbian academic and a serious artist.In this extraordinary and unforgettable memoir, Carol Guess brilliantly illuminates the path to art and to individuality.Guess, Carol is the author of 'Gaslight', published 2001 under ISBN 9781887237055 and ISBN 1887237054.
