"Women have been a ghastly nuisance all my life," pronounced George Bernard Shaw in his later years. This book shows just how much of a nuisance women really were to Shaw, and he to them. Here the public Shaw - dramatist, satirist, economist, Socialist - bows to the private Shaw - philanderer, ladies' man, shrinking anchorite. Here is the great GBS in that most revealing of all situations, the love game, living the whole gamut of relationships - friendly, intellectual, amorous - possible when man meets woman. Some of the relationships are a ghastly nuisance; but none of them is dull. Each account is fascinating in itself, in what it reveals about Shaw, and in the glimpses we get of real people and situations that Shaw later incorporated into his plays.
