Are you ready for the "Unmentionable"?? Containing numerous illustrations, along with some scandalous honesty, and plenty of biting wit - "Unmentionable" bravely opens up the doors to the reality of what it was "really" like being a woman back in the Victorian era. And, let me tell ya - It certainly wasn't the sweet, neat, purified, wholesome period in history that you've been erroneously led to believe that it was. No way. Written by humorist, Therese ONeill - "Unmentionable" is (Indeed) a real eye-opening look at the past, especially from the angles of sex, marriage, and manners.
