Tales of the Curse: Feminine Secrets Revealed

Wherever you are in your life as a woman, this funny and fearless gift book will make you laugh out loud, sigh in relief, and groan in commiseration. It's a moon swept guide to feminine power that will have women looking at their monthly bill-even if paid in full-in a whole new way.

Women often have to grin and bear it, but Peggy Lumpkin insists women grin and share it. She even asks women to celebrate their monthly menses like troopers and troubadours-all of it-the good, the bad and the ugly. She creates a stunning space to rejoice, commemorate and, yes, surely to commiserate. In seven parts, she shares funny and excruciating stories that women will identify with wholeheartedly. Filled with late-nineteenth-century illustrations by Aubrey Beardsley, this brilliant work of nonfiction is savvy, succinct, and absolutely sexy.
