About this title

Synopsis

After the intervention of an Olympian goddess, a male chauvinist wakes next morning a beautiful woman. An initial panic is followed by the need to face what he once regarded the great taboos or burdens of womanhood: makeup, hormonal swings, period pain, hair salons, dancing backward in high heels, makeup, waxing, sex from a new perspective, birth control, and more. The compensations are discovery of the importance of shoes, suddenly being found attractive rather than ordinary and what? After each challenge she faces, Mika's body gradually takes control, and she becomes more feminine. Unfortunately, a part of her previous male self remains in her head, complaining about every female activity he has to endure. She finds memories of life as a red-blooded womaniser are sometimes a weak defence against the type of man she once was. Can she cope with what all other women seem to take in their stride?

About the Author

After four marriages, first in the age of Carnaby Street and new sexual freedom of the swinging '60s, the author is not convinced Western women have been liberated. No longer tied to the kitchen sink, they are subject to a new tyranny. Some of its symptoms are rising number of single mothers, no change to the focus on body image, female trafficking, and sexualisation of young girls. Apart from applauding strong women, the author offers no solution, only an entertaining illustration of how men fail to understand how much harder life is for women than men.
