History of Bad Advice for Women

Join Kaz on a hilarious journey through centuries of terrible advice, from 14th-century clergy to the Kardashians (such as wearing a dress made of arsenic, engaging in day-drinking, sleeping with a billionaire biker, and stressing about vaginal wrinkles). This book is not just a comedic romp, but also a passionate cry against injustice, a call for unity among women, and a way to liberate ourselves from unrealistic expectations and societal pressure for perfectionism. Drawing from her 30 years of experience in offering advice, including her work as a newspaper columnist and bestselling author of books like Up the Duff and the Girl Stuff series, Kaz presents a colorful and energetic book filled with hundreds of fascinating historical photos depicting absurd objects and instructions.

You're Doing It Wrong delves into the advice we are given (such as changing our appearance, staying silent, and taking on all household chores) and the things we are discouraged from doing (like showing emotion, having pockets, or taking on leadership roles). The book covers topics ranging from sex and romance to work, fashion, beauty, health, housework, and a plethora of absurd parenting tips - from ancient witchcraft practices to modern beauty pageants, with a sprinkle of female aviators for good measure. So sit back, relax, and pour yourself a cup of tea as you immerse yourself in this captivating read.
