《萨德的女人》 / The Sadeian Woman

《萨德的女人》 / The Sadeian Woman appears in 38.安吉拉卡特精怪故事集:哦!迷人的悍妇! as the explicit theoretical side of [[AngelaCarter|Angela Carter / 安吉拉·卡特]]’s thinking about sex, repression, and female freedom. The hosts cite it while discussing the Inuit blubber-lover story, where a woman creates and recreates a lover from whale fat.

In the source, the book does not support simple sexual libertinism. It helps the hosts frame Carter as looking for a way between sexual repression and empty liberation, especially against the idea that women’s value is exhausted by reproduction.

Key Claims

  • The source uses the book to connect fairy-tale eroticism to Female Body Freedom and Female Self-Possession.
  • Carter is presented as interested in sexual imagination without turning sex into a single answer for women’s freedom.
  • The book gives the episode a theoretical bridge between crude folk tales and feminist literary argument.
