Summary:
A scandalously honest guide to the secrets of Victorian womanhood. Have you ever wished you could live in an earlier, more romantic era? Ladies, welcome to the 19th century, where arsenic is a face cream, opium is a medicine, and all of your underwear is crotchless. (I'll get back to that in a minute.)Unmentionable is your guide to the secrets of life as a Victorian lady, giving you detailed advice on how to maintain your youth (if you see a wrinkle, just rub lead on it!), how to please your husband (stop talking), how to manage your monthly "unwellness," and more. Learn how much laughter is permitted a lady on the street (none). Find out what's underneath those elegant ball gowns (whalebone corsets, crinoline cages, and crotchless pantalettes--for quick bathroom access under all that hardware). And most importantly, come away with a new appreciation of the fortitude of our great, great grandmothers.Irresistibly charming, laugh-out-loud funny, and featuring dozens of images from 19th century publications, Unmentionable will be beloved by Jane Austen fans and is the perfect gift for women of all ages.
