The line between the primitive and the degraded feminine is a thin one, habitually elided in dominant discourse. ... Through that chain of colonial associations, whole cultures became feminized, blackened and impoverished-each denigrating construction implying and invoking the others. True womanhood had to be protected ... not only from the debased subjectivity and dangerous sexuality of the lowerclass prostitute, but from all other similarly inscribed subordinate subjectivities. The difference between men and women in the ruling class had to be written so that a slippage into categories reserved for lesser humanities could be averted
