More about the book

These are stories of true love, devotion and piety, incest, lust, prostitution, adultery, polygamy, necromancy, decapitation, treachery and violence: of women's exploitation and abuse by men and how women gained their revenge. "With illustrations from many of painting's great masters, this book is designed for ease of access and written in a clear, straightforward style."
