Chilling collection of essays on the societal hatred of women, inspired by the author's journalistic experience on the Yorkshire Ripper case. Some of the examples in here are truly appalling, and while I like to think there's been improvement in some areas - surely judges could not get away with some of those rulings today! - in others it's the same old, same old.

Necessary reading, I think, but it does tend to chip away at one's faith in humanity. Not that I had so much of that to begin with, but still.
