What's a woman to wear when she kills her husband? Or plays her detective for a sap? And ultimately, what's the appropriate ensemble for facing a firing squad?
Who is the femme fatale? Since time began, every culture has obsessed about her; women have wished to be her, and men – the dumb clucks – have connived to control her. Drawing on examples from history to Hollywood, this tongue-in-cheek handbook presents a new appraisal of feminine power: revealing how any woman can lay claim to her fatale birthright and have a hell of a lot of fun doing it.
Original Sins is a guide for the woman who'd rather track her prey than be tied to the tracks.
