Camille Anna Paglia (born April 2, 1947 in Endicott, New York) is an American social critic, intellectual, author and teacher best known for her magnum opus Sexual Personae.
She is a professor of humanities and media studies in the United States. She has been variously called the "feminist that other feminists love to hate," a "post-feminist feminist," one of the world's top 100 intellectuals, and by her own description "a feminist bisexual egomaniac."
