What a great book! Not only is it very informative, but also hysterically funny! Wow, the things I learned! Did you know 21st Century vixens aren't the first to wear crotchless panties? And as much as we glamorize the Victorian age (think of all the movies and books!), it really was dreadful to live day by day in the filth and discomfort. And all the rules, oh my. Not to mention the dangerous and sometimes deadly ingredients in make up, face creams, etc. As the saying goes, "We've come a long way, baby!"
