The Book for Dangerous Women

A "stunningly funny" encyclopedia of practical wisdom on marriage, infidelity, motherhood, sex, fashion, friendship, work, self-discovery, and more (Publishers Weekly, starred review).

Featuring more than five hundred entries of sage advice, The Book for Dangerous Women shows us how to get through life with a little grace and a lot of funfrom how to accept compliments to when to wear "cami-knickers" to how to deal with ambivalence (toward lovers, friends, or foes), and why owning a cat and a fancy dress may be more fulfilling than sex.

Like a dictionary, topics are cross-referenced and many include insights from the famed and infamous, such as Oscar Wilde, Coco Chanel, Mae West, Eve Ensler, Albert Camus, Anaïs Nin, and William Shakespeare. A typical progression of entries is: Affairs, Age, Arrangements, Bananas, Beauty, and Beds, followed by Bereavement, Birthdays, BFs, Blueberries, and Bolt Holes.

From those conversations and counseling sessions with your mother, sisters, daughters, and friends to those moments in life that only women can understand, The Book for Dangerous Women is the grown-up and contemporary reference book every woman needs.

"Celebrates the art of being fabulous and female at fifteen, fifty, and far beyond." Daily Telegraph
