The work explores the world of contemporary female writers, referred to derogatorily as 'bas-bleus', examining their defining traits, their impact on literature, and the societal perceptions surrounding them. This study engages with various notable figures from the literary scene, presenting a vigorous critique of women who adopt masculine literary personas and the consequences that arise from such shifts in gender roles.  The opening of the book sets the scene for an intellectual battle against the 'bas-bleus'. The narrator reflects on what constitutes this 'enemy' of masculine genius, expressing a determination to dissect and critique their literary contributions. The text is marked by a blend of disdain and analytical scrutiny, as the narrator navigates through definitions of key terms, engages with various women's works, and prepares for an incisive examination of their literary merits and failures. The tone is combative, aiming to unveil the perceived contradictions and deficiencies within women's literature, laying the groundwork for a broader discussion on gender and literary authority. Through a series of observations on specific works and authors, the author critiques their styles and content, alluding to a larger cultural commentary on femininity and literary production.
