About this ebook
Esther Vilar’s classic polemic about the relationship between the sexes caused a sensation on its first publication. In her introduction to this revised edition, Vilar maintains that very little has changed. A man is a human being who works, while a woman chooses to let a man provide for her and her children in return for carefully dispensed praise and sex.
Vilar’s perceptive, thought-provoking and often very funny look at the battle between the sexes has earned her severe criticism and even death threats. But Vilar’s intention is not misogynous: she maintains that only if women and men look at their place in society with honesty, will there be any hope for change.

A real eye opener, I wish I would have read this book earlier in life. Esther provides a detailed map of the female brain. I only wish there was a part 2, that would account for the modern day westernized female.

Precious information that society and those in power would not want us men to have. An absolute MUST READ! Highly recommended.
