Abstract	Throughout this article, the author argued that the attraction of the "exotic" for Gauguin was largely revealed by his response to the women of various locales and that two notions--that of the "feminine" and the "foreign" or exotic--became intertwined for him. She relied both upon the commentary of Britt Salvesen with respect to Gauguin's obvious use of the trope of female-as-representative and the work of others who have discussed the nineteenth-century European predilection for the appropriation of cultures, such as Edward Said. The author also briefly touched upon the fact that some nineteenth-century thinkers had begun the empirical work that, as it happens, has resulted in some contemporary feminist theory, since that work buttressed the notion that the pull of the goddess-related belief systems is strong.
