Items related to Labyrinth of Desire
Every woman longs to be in a love story. But what are they longing for? Rosemary Sullivan explores the many stories upon which women base their (mis)understanding of romantic love. She begins with an original love story which she then deconstructs, peeling back the layers of meaning and using personal anecdotes, history, film, and literature to discover why her heroine, like so many otherwise intelligent and sensible women, fall hopelessly, obsessively, excruciatingly in love with the wrong man. Whether she is exploring the love story of Simone de Beavoir and Jean-Paul Sartre, or of Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera, Sullivan asks the question: Why do women love the way they do?
