These are the most fabulous, provocative creatures in the world of fiction, from H. Rider Haggard's She to Edgar Rice Burroughs' Jane, Hedy Lamarr's Tonedeleyo and the modern, bold, daring and dangerous beauties that prowl Silke's imagination. They're all here, the Jungle Goddesses, Queens and Slaves as well as their sisters in that happy madness of exotic femme fatales, Tropic Tramps, Dragon Ladies, Harem Damsels and semi-clad Barbarians. It's not a history, but a celebration of that impossible, loony, glorious nonsense that Silke somehow finds essential.
