As another term begins at her girls' school, Josephine Napier
reasserts her iron grip over her teachers and family. Her air of
studied self-sacrifice conceals ruthless manipulation, but with the
introduction of a male teacher to her staff and the return of an
old rival for her husband's affections, the mask begins to slip.
Old deceptions and new rivalries come to the surface, and the
starched perfection of her life is threatened. A consummate
expression of Ivy Compton-Burnett's unique style, full of viciously
witty dialogue laced with double meanings and veiled insults, More
Women Than Men is a masterful dissection of gender and power by an
essential twentieth-century writer.
