Hellcat Amazons by Jeffrey Luther

Hellcat Amazons

Tough Girls And Warped Women From The Pulp Classics

Jeffrey Luther

As America slowly relaxed its moral codes in the post war era, the pulp novels of the paperback racks offered an initiation ot the previously hidden demi-mondes of sex and hedonistic excess. While the cover blurbs fained shock and disgust, the cover art revelled in the illicit danger and excitement and their exploitation fantasies offered a lurid window on America’s supressed desire. A frequent fantasy was that of the tough, predatory woman who know what she wants and how to get it. From the hard-boiled femme fatale to the all-out leather-clad dominatrix and ‘strange hungers’ of lesbian desire, Pulp Postcards gathers together the most daring of these original jackets.
