very brilliant and she wanted to be the first woman in the undergraduate program at the university of pennsylvania and it would not accept her because she was a woman. so what did she do? she turned to sex trading. the reason she did that was she was really interested in world religion and chip taking a trip to alaska where she saw these very phallic looking totem poles. i feel very connected to her because i went to brown university which specializes in semiotics and she reminds me of myself. did you also? now i know why we like each other so much. i don't need to tell you about -- you were there in the peak of semiotics but she became obsessed with sex and symbolism and she went to the world's there in 1893 and saw the belly dancers at the time and she was interested in sex. as you mentioned before, history comes in these waves. the stereotype, victorian women were repressed and never had orgasms and hated sex. there was this flourishing sex list in the 1840s. a lot of it coming out of, for example, croft evidence work was making its way to the united states. freud wouldn't be that many years be
