How to Make Love: Secrets of Wooing from the 1930s

En savoir plus sur le livre

This guide for the young and in love from the distant past of the 1930's is an eye opening peek into the amorous minds of our grandparents (perhaps even our parents!) that is not timid about its gender bias. "The man is born strong, the woman weak" is the thesis upon which this Depression-era guide to wooing is based. The thought that physical intimacy is reserved for the marital bed is an assumption that may be welcomed by some and scorned by others, but provides a striking insight into the minds of those of this era, but also a fascinating exploration of the assumptions that led to many of our culture's gender bias. ---Amazon review
