What is The Dance of Deception : Pretending and Truth-telling in Women's Lives about?

In This Fresh, Challenging New Book, Dr. Lerner Invites Us To Join Her In A Groundbreaking Exploration Of The Many Faces Of Truth And Deception In Women's Lives. Through Examples That Are Both Startlingly Intimate And Deeply Political, Dr. Lerner Provides Us With Bold Insights Into The Countless Ways (and Whys) That Women Show The False And Hide The Real. Deception Is Not A Woman's Problem, Or Even A Uniquely Human Phenomenon: From Viruses To Large Mammals, Deception Is Continuously At Play. We Are All Affected By Lying And Faking, By Silence And Pretending, By Self-deception, And By Brave - As Well As Misguided - Efforts To Tell The Truth. Dr. Lerner Shows Us That Women's Failure To Live Authentically And Speak Truly Deserves Our Closest Attention. She Illustrates How Pretending Is So Closely Linked With Femininity That It Is, Quite Simply, What The Culture Teaches Us To Do.^ Truth-telling Is The Central Challenge In Women's Lives, The Foundation Of Intimacy, Self-regard, And Joy. At The Center Of A Woman's Life Is The Quest To Discover, Speak And Live Her Own Truth, To Cease Living A Life Dictated And Defined By Others. Yet In The Name Of Truth Or Being Ourselves, We May Hurt Oth
