According to Rogers, the nineteenth century was incapable of managing the feminine question and preferred to mythicize it. Everything that was related to it, especially feminine sexuality, was transformed into fiction. Thus women were saddled with the role of scapegoat.
Nathalie Buchet Rogers is a French professor at Wellesley College. She completed her Masters and PhD in French Studies at Brown University.
"Calling on the works of theoreticians from Rene Girard to Naomi Schor, Rogers manages to give an overview of feminist reworking of Freud - theories of perversion, schizophrenia, and hysteria - in a study at once lively and communicative. Scandal never had it so good."
