Rude, Crude, and Setting the Mood: Unbecoming Women with Therese Oneill

It's interview time! Let's spend some time with the truly delightful Therese Oneill, author of such nonfiction gems as Unmentionable: The Victorian Lady's Guide to Sex, Marriage and Manners, and her latest book, Unbecoming a Lady: The Forgotten Shrews and Sluts that Shaped America. This isn’t your average collection of bios about women from history: the ladies contained within its pages were rude, uncouth, and complicated. They didn’t just break the mould for a lady in 19th-century America: they crushed it under their boots and laughed. Let’s let Therese introduce us to some of them. 

Unbecoming a Lady is out now wherever fine books are sold. Find out more about Therese and her work at her website.
