About Dangerous Women

an effervescent A-Z filled with wise words and witty anecdotes
- EASY LIVING

Cinq à Sept
Is the magic time between five and seven pm (as the phrase denotes) when lovers meet, and was invented by Parisians. Moral concerns aside by leaving work a little early you will still have enough time to make your assignation and then get home in order to shower, change and sit down to supper with your respective partners. You will discover too that afternoon sex has its own particular pleasures and rewards.
(v: Affairs, Arrangements, Twice is Polite)

Things that Make your Life Easier

Heroines, Lovers, Money Matters)

From Cinq à Sept to Childbirth to Taxis, DANGEROUS WOMEN is the essential companion for 21st century life. Drawing on the collective experience of three women, DANGEROUS WOMEN is a compendium of 600 cross-references, alphabetical entries and quotations, offering guidance and bon mots to women everywhere. Each entry, while often playful and witty, will contain an essential truth about womanhood. With its combination of wry humour and advice on everything from affairs to the importance of dental hygiene, this book is the perfect present for sisters, mothers, daughters and friends.
