This book took me by surprise. I literally picked it based on the title and nothing else. Was it going to be the history of f*cking? Was this just a fun title for a history book? Well, it turned out to be a little of both haha. There are many fascinating sexual stories like about women using overbaked bread as sex toys or Catherine the Great having men audition to have sex with her. But much more than that it was the stories of women who no one talks about! I really thought women didn’t contribute much to history because they were weaker or home with kids or something… but women have done so many amazing things and it’s just not taught in school! We don’t talk about it so each generation grows up thinking women are truly inferior to men but they’re not!!
Thank you so much for the gifted copy, Tarcher Perigree!

I generally believe that you don't have to be crude to get your point across but it is unquestionably effective.

Well this was fucking hilarious. A sort of random sampling of interesting historical vignettes couched in exactly the sort of language you WISH your history teacher had used. It sort of skirts sexism, but never like fully dives in, and it's overtly anti-bigot so I enjoyed this. Would definitely read again aloud with friends.
