The book explores how Rego's art is rooted in the political and ideological climate of Portugal, particularly the influence of the Salazar dictatorship, Catholicism, and patriarchy on her portrayal of human relations. Lisboa argues that Rego's work is a persistent exploration of power and powerlessness, violence, and abuse. These themes are traced back to the artist's childhood under the fascist "New State" (Estado Novo). The book also provides insights into Rego's frequent depictions of "uneasy and predatory" relations between men and women.

It is considered a major contribution to the study of contemporary Portuguese and British feminist art.…
