45. disagree
Erica Berger, his publishing colleague, beds the hero while her husband knowingly waits at home like a cuckold. Doesn't sound to me like she is all that "oppressed.". and, I don't think Salander accepted other women in his bed too well, esp at the end and esp when you read the next two books. Just finished the third volume this past weekend. Really good series, imo.
