A primer on the ineffable, je ne sais quoi appeal of the
French woman.
I t's not the shoes, the scarves,
or the lipstick that gives French women their allure. It's
this: French women don't give a damn. They don't expect men
to understand them. They don't care about being liked or
being like everyone else. They generally reject notions of
packaged beauty. They accept the passage of time, celebrate
the immediacy of pleasure, like to break rules, embrace
ambiguity and imperfection, and prefer having a life to
making a living. They are, in other words, completely unlike
us.
Ollivier goes beyond familiar ooh-la-la
stereotypes about French women, challenging cherished
notions about sex, love, dating, marriage, motherhood,
raising children, body politics, seduction, and flirtation.
Less a how-to and more a how-not-to, What French Women
Know offers a refreshing counterpoint to the stale love
dogma of our times. Peppered with anecdotes from its
Franco-American author and filled with provocative ideas
from French sexperts, mistresses and maidens alike, it
debunks longstanding myths, presenting savvy new thinking
from an old sexy culture and more realistic, life-affirming
alternatives from the land that knows how to love.
