Patriarchal culture for centuries has been imposed on a woman the ideals of meekness, sacrificial ministry and humility, the role of a home angel, the sweetness of submission. The heroine Helen Lewis is not at all. Their names were surrounded by scandals. They were put in prison, beaten with stones, and in the present time - after all, customs softened - they simply ridicule.
Complex, intolerable, uncomfortable and egocentric, sometimes aggressive, sometimes ridiculous - original, eccentricities, upstarts, they articulated implicit problems and showed the abnormality of the usual. They broke stereotypes, forced the society to review the gender conventions, changed their way, legal norms and state institutions - in the interests of everyone else. The impassive pedantry of the historian-archivist and the honesty of the journalist-investigator, the analytical mind, the hot empathy and the willingness to see the unpleasant truth about their heroines allowed Helen Lewis to write a sober, insightful, bitter, funny and fearless history of feminism, his victories and failures. Without a pathetic and a restification, to talk about how half of humanity sought the right to dispose of their body and voice, its time and income, the right to make mistakes and correct mistakes, the right to be imperfect - to be people
