All the stories in this book are based on real events. All heroines are women. Ugly and beautiful women. Respectable wives who sank to the bottom of life and turned into alcoholics and homeless people - and sad old maids who soared to the Olympus of love. Naive girls earning money on the track for blouses with rhinestones - and socialites. The beauties are sure that they are playing with men, but they themselves turn out to be toys in the hands of men. So much so that some of them become infanticide mothers for the sake of their beloved male.
