Abstract
Women and the woman's place in a predominantly male world are the focus in this collection of 15 short stories by David Leo. Misunderstood wives, women trapped by marriage and women caught in affairs with married men often are not treated fairly. The writer also takes a dig at men who, in their relationships with women, exhibit a vulnerability not infrequently attributed to the so-called weaker sex: the insecure husband, the egocentric lover and the naive wife hunter.
