Mariana är trött på att kvinnor ska behöva "sluta vara offer". Samhället är extremt ojämställt, men det är ju inget som alla män som sitter i samma klassrum som henne vill medge.

"Sluta vara offer, hör ni!" är en varm och humoristisk novell om ett allvarligt och viktigt ämne. Katarina Mazetti är en svensk författare.
