Have you ever wondered why women do not achieve more wins at the top level in the field of championship bridge? The game is a mental exercise rather than a physical one, after all, and it is hard to see why women should not do as well as men. 

Australian authoress Joyce Nicholson sought an answer to the problem by sending a questionnaire to the members of the International Bridge Press Association - the top writers on the game, both male and female. This book is the result. 

Are women really too emotional, remarkably illogical and unable to concentrate for any length of time? Do they lack aggression, competitive spirit and the will to win? Do you perhaps believe women are sensible and spend more time than men on the important things in life? And how far does sex, as distinct from gender, come into the picture? 

Whatever your views on the subject of women and bridge, whether you are male or female, a keen player or a non-player, a fierce feminist or an ardent anti-feminist, you are sure to be stimulated by the ideas expressed in this original book.
