Barnes - Djuna The Book of Repulsive Women
Barnes first published in 1915. Despite the fact that this was Barnes’ first publication of what
she considered to be her “serious” work, she later hated the book and wished to repress the
fact that she had written it at all. The book was republished by Baron despite Barnes’
disapproval, and has been republished three times more since her death. Contrary to what
the title may suggest, The Book of Repulsive Women is an intriguing work; Barnes uses the
visual and textual to function as one cohesive narrative and the book as a whole engages
the reader in its striking imagery. By merging poetry and illustrations, Barnes attempts to
create a new space for feminine discourse.
