Unmentionable: The Victorian Lady's Guide to Sex, Marriage, and Manners by Therese Oneill

3.0

A funny book which guides you through life as a middle to upper class woman in the 19th century. I found this book enjoyable, but not noteworthy. I learned a lot about the female experience during this time period, however I wish it had been a more inclusive perspective. Rather the author completely bypassed the experience of women of color, lower economic status, or facing any real marginalization - likely a result of trying to keep it short and not too serious.
