This volume contains a diverse selection of pieces that present views about men given by women. Some of the contributors write directly about men and how men see women, others prefer to view men at a distance, as a woman looking at men through the eyes of a female writer, or through the eyes of female characters in female writing. With British and European literatures, culture and film being discussed, the essays aim to provide a balance between approaches to male/female conflict, some with a defensive attitude to women, and others with a more detached view. The articles presented include: a sociologist offering her knowledge on divorce; a psychoanalyst discussing the problems of a female analyst faced with male patients; and an historian viewing aspects of 19th-century male attitudes in Britain from the French perspective.
