1. The prologue (beginning of the book) is quite important for it here where Christine directs the reader as to how one should read and interpret the overall text. What do you think Christine wants to get across to her readers? Why? What do you make of the fact that Christine's mother interrupts her before she can really begin her 'work'? Why include this seemingly mundane detail?
2. Why do you think Christine adopts a tone of humility and even gullibility at the beginning of the text? How should we interpret this initial tone? How does this prepare the reader for what is to come? Give some specific examples.
3. What examples / methods does Christine use (from what you have read thus far) in her defense of women? Why do you think she chooses these examples? How do they help her to build her case?
