The artist Paula Rego was born in Portugal but has lived in Britain since 1951. In this book, Maria Manuel Lisboa explores the background behind Rego's decision to leave the land of her birth and, in doing so, provides insights into Rego's persistent portrayal of uneasy and predatory relations between men and women.
