reviewed The Moral Sex: Woman's Nature in the French Enlightenment on November 20, 2013 The Moral Sex: Woman's Nature in the French Enlightenment
This is a scholarly book. While I usually enjoy scholarly books, too, I'm just not that interested in 18th century French women and high fashion. But the paper this book is printed on...ooh la la! You could make a christening gown from it.
