Aujourd'hui, que vivent vraiment les femmes ? Les femmes n'en peuvent plus de faire le grand écart entre le travail et la vie familiale, d'être accablées de tâches ménagères, de se débattre dans le divorce, d'être affamées par les régimes, terrifiées par leur poids et par leurs rides, de recevoir de la société le message qu'elles ne sont jamais assez belles, performantes, bonnes mères, bonnes épouses. Il est temps de faire le bilan de la condition féminine et de tenter de comprendre ce qui ne va pas. Pourquoi une femme qui réussit sa carrière reste célibataire. Pourquoi celle qui se marie amoureuse est, cinq ans plus tard, au bord du divorce. Pourquoi ni l'homme ni la femme ne trouvent leurs marques dans la relation de couple. Pourquoi les femmes ont tellement peur de la ménopause. Pourquoi la société actuelle ne leur laisse pas d'autre choix que d'être toujours plus minces et toujours plus jeunes. Pourquoi elle leur inflige une telle pression. La femme moderne se voulait libérée, elle se retrouve « esclavagisée », prise dans un corset, mais un corset invisible.
