NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERHave you ever wished you could live in an earlier; more romantic era? Ladies; welcome to the 19th century; where there's arsenic in your face cream; a pot of cold pee sits under your bed; and all of your underwear is crotchless. (Why? Shush; dear. A lady doesn't question.) UNMENTIONABLE is your hilarious; illustrated; scandalously honest (yet never crass) guide to the secrets of Victorian womanhood; giving you detailed advice on: ~ What to wear ~ Where to relieve yourself ~ How to conceal your loathsome addiction to menstruating ~ What to expect on your wedding night ~ How to be the perfect Victorian wife ~ Why masturbating will kill you ~ And moreIrresistibly charming; laugh-out-loud funny; and featuring nearly 200 images from Victorian publications; UNMENTIONABLE will inspire a whole new level of respect for Elizabeth Bennett; Scarlet O'Hara; Jane Eyre; and all of our great; great grandmothers. (And it just might leave you feeling ecstatically grateful to live in an age of pants; super absorbency tampons; epidurals; anti-depressants; and not-dying-of-the-syphilis-your-husband-brought-home.)
