A Book Every Woman Should Read. The male species who for centuries has struggled with knowing the difference between “headship” and “the boss” is exposed in a brilliantly written book on his influence in the lives of women. A book focused on exposing the obnoxious dictatorship of the over zealous species who at the best of times demand the privileges of a marriage but who fail to contribute constructive support, love and real caring. Find time to read this compelling revelation of the wimps of society who only know how to rule with delegated authority. Enquiries to Giselle@whisperpoetry.com
