While in this text the Countess of Bregy decries the defects of men, women do not make it out unscathed. A forerunner to Jean de La Bruyere's book Les caracteres, this treatise offers a caustic social critique of human nature. A rich paratext sheds light on the associated ideological and literary issues.
