Dita Von Teese and Marilyn Monroe are two American women who understand the importance of sensuality in a woman’s life. 

Dita Von Teese — who I adore — has an interview published in The Frisky, in which she talks about feminism and being pro-woman. I just updated one of our most popular articles about my own relationship with Marilyn Monroe.

Feminism is a ‘weird’ word for Dita Von Teese and perhaps for Marilyn Monroe, too. Dita’s reluctance to embrace the word ‘feminism’ says much more about American feminists than the burlesque artist’s command over her own global stage.
