Review

"Ollivier shows how the French way of life might enhance our own....Laced with insights from Marguerite Duras to Albert Einstein...she...lays out a Gallic prescription for living a life that is richer, more sensual, messier, and a lot more fun."

Publisher's note

Explaining that French women possess a confidence based on an indifference to the opinions of men and societal notions of beauty, an anecdotal guide reveals how to enjoy life by drawing from the examples of French women in the areas of sex, parenting, and body politics. By the author of Entre Nous.

A primer on the ineffable, je ne sais quoi appeal of the French woman.
I tas not the shoes, the scarves, or the lipstick that gives French women their allure. Itas this: French women donat give a damn. They donat expect men to understand them. They donat 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.
