The book is divided into ten chapters, including "Women and Power", "Heiress to a Glorious Clan", "Being a Woman in Pakistan", "Myths and Facts", "A Life Not Chosen", "Triumphal Return", "The Clash of Civilizations", "Sibling Position", "Into the Same River Twice", and "The Story Ends; Begins the Legend". The first third of the book is less a conventional biography than a broad discussion of the Bhutto family background and of gendered violence and social constraints in Pakistan, including
honour killings, acid attacks, and the case of
Mukhtaran Mai. Suvorova uses this material to frame the difficulties faced by a woman seeking political authority in Pakistan. == Reception ==
