Unmentionable: The Victorian Lady's Guide to Sex, Marriage, and Manners is the perfect blend of #history, #humour and #pictures! I love #illustrations, #vintageads and #historical documents, so I gobbled this up. The best parts are on #toilets and #menstruation  Honestly, the past sounds horrifying -- completely. This book took me back to some research I did on 17th century customs and what I remember first is all the FILTH. Most people lived in squalor an even rich people smelled bad. The stuff about bodily stench was a bit much, but I learned things about #ambergris that I never knew! Take a minute to thank your higher power today for being born in the here and now. Especially you, ladies. Awesome book. I'm gonna buy it for my own shelves.
