How can a book that reveals the failures of both legal discourse and social discourse in dealing with injury perpetrated on women - and undermines the foundations of their working assumptions - succeed in sounding so simple, reasonable and logical, as though it were describing exactly how things are? In the answer to this question can be found the great importance of this book, which is fascinating and required reading for every male and female citizen who wants to partake of a life that is reasonable for everyone in a shared community.
