Unmentionable: The Victorian Lady's Guide to Sex, Marriage, and Manners
by Therese Oneill
This book strongly implies that it combines the research of a Mary Roach, presented with the hilarious yet self-effacing wit of a Lindy West while failing utterly on both fronts. There's almost nothing here that I didn't already know from casual internet research (and Mary Roach), and after a couple hundred pages the constant bitter irony stopped being merely not funny and started to really grate on me. Her outrage is understandable, she's talking about outrageous things, but all the commentary left less room for facts that would have helped the reader better understand and empathize.
