Heilbrun mirava a riscoprire e rivalutare le voci letterarie delle donne che erano state storicamente trascurate o emarginate.

Professor Charles Haycock is dead from a hearty dose of his own heart medication. The mystery is not why Haycock was murdered-very few could stomach the woman-hating prof?but who did the deed.

And as the women defuse the host of literary landmines set out for them, Woody suspects they?re only scratching the surface of a very large and sinister plot. . . .
