From The Art and Popular Culture Encyclopedia

"The timing of the Harlequins' prodigious success [in the 1970s] has coincided exactly with the appearance and spread of the women's movement, and much of its increasingly anti-feminist content reflects this symbiotic relationship."--"Soft-Porn Culture" (1980) by Ann Douglas |
