Unmentionable – The Victorian Lady’s Guide to Sex, Marriage, and Manners
Have you ever wished you could go back in time to a more romantic, earlier period? Welcome to the 19th century, ladies. You have a jug of cold urine under your bed, all of your lingerie is crotchless, and your face cream contains arsenic. (Why? Quiet down, sweetheart. A woman never asks questions.)
Your humorous, illustrated, scandalously candid (but never crude) manual on the mysteries of Victorian women, Unmentionable, offers you comprehensive guidance on: What to dress in Where can I go to relieve myself? How to hide your awful menstrual addiction What to anticipate on the night of your wedding The ideal way to be a Victorian wife Why it’s deadly to masturbate and more!
Featuring almost 200 photos from Victorian newspapers, Unmentionable is irresistibly delightful, hilarious, and will make you appreciate Elizabeth Bennett, Scarlet O’Hara, Jane Eyre, and all of our great, great grandmothers on a whole new level. (And you might be really thankful that you live in a time with pants, antidepressants, epidurals, super absorbency tampons, and avoiding death from the syphilis your spouse brought home.)
