Miss Virginia Mendes. Wife, mother and very unhappy but she means to do something about it so she goes online... After every disappointment, she picks herself up, brushes herself off, gradually, tentatively dismantling the unquestioned selfhoods picked up along the way.

Of her sensuality, her philosophy, her triumphs and her pitfalls... all the Woman she is.
