Everything But the Kitchen Sink: What Every Modern Woman Needs to Know

by Francesca Beauman, Ben Cracknell (Illustrator)

Twenty-first-century women are called upon to perform any manner of tasks, recall even the most random bits of information, and all the while carry on a charming conversation. Thankfully, from historian and British television personality Francesca Beauman comes this indispensable and authoritative survival guide that will allow women to tackle any problem and work any party with ease, style, and grace.

Everything But the Kitchen Sink is a compendium of delightfully witty facts, figures, diagrams, lists, charts, quotes, and practical advice. True, you may not ever need to know how to roast a hedgehog, treat a shark bite, or say "No, thank you. Please leave me alone" in Russian. But isn't it good to know you can?

Super random....but entertaining

This is basically one of those little bathroom reading type of books that covers many different subjects. Not my cup of tea.
