A study of the role of truth-telling and pretending in women's lives, explores the theory that pretending is so inextricably linked with society's notions of feminine behaviour, that it is what women are expected to do. Dr Lerner goes beyond conventional distinctions between deception and honesty, between good and bad, to give an analysis of what lying represents in a society where women's "truths" are often unspoken truths.
