The book explores a range of topics related to the position of women in society and religion. Gardener dissects the historical and theological foundations of gender inequality, arguing that patriarchal structures have been used to subjugate women for centuries. She scrutinizes religious teachings, exposing inconsistencies and double standards that justify the unequal treatment of women.

She advocates for women's access to education, economic independence, and full political rights. Throughout the collection, Gardener's unwavering commitment to feminist principles is evident, along with her sharp wit and ability to expose societal hypocrisy.
