Books
Have you ever wished you could live in an earlier, more romantic era? Ladies, welcome to the 19th century, where arsenic is a face cream, opium is a medicine, and all of your underwear is crotchless. In the spirit of 'Texts from Jane Eyre' and Schott's 'Miscellany', 'Unmentionable' is your guide to the secrets of life as a Victorian lady, giving you detailed advice on how to maintain your youth (if you see a wrinkle, just rub lead on it!), how to please your husband (stop talking), how to manage your monthly 'unwellness', and more.
