This is a short book, but it touches on many things. It is actually a series of commentaries, mostly relating to feminism and a lot relating to violence against women. There is, in my opinion, too much about Virginia Woolf, but for the most part, it's refreshing and good information, a lot of which is often ignored in our society. For instance, did you know that more women are killed by violent men and domestic violence then die as a result of cancer, malaria, war, and automobile accidents combined? This is a fact that comes out early in the book, and it's still mind-boggling to me! The discussion (well, monologue) about violence against women, while recognizing that there is also violence by women against men, is refreshing.
The title of the book is really only one of the treatises presented, but it's very telling!
