From Barbies to Bras to Botox . . . Remember your first period? What about the first time you wore a suit for a job interview or were catcalled on the street? Do you recall saying something that echoed your mother’s words, losing a dear friend, or the trauma of a department store makeup counter? How about your first earth-shattering orgasm? A woman’s life is marked by significant passages, shaped by a series of “first times.” Cathy Alter presents a captivating collection of these experiences through first-person accounts from women of diverse backgrounds, evoking memories of both mortifying and monumental moments. Explore first tales of bras, designer jeans, and stilettos that define our beauty; first adventures with dirty books and naughty pleasures; first accounts of the power of T&A; and first escapades in the working world, revealing that it’s not all pantyhose and briefcases. Delve into first sagas of leaving home, breaking up, and moving on. Whether you’re in love for the first time or navigating your first hot flashes, this collection celebrates the sisterhood of women, inspiring you to share your own firsts with friends.
