I have always wondered how women carried out their daily lives, how they washed, what types of make-up they used, how they dealt with periods, etc. An absolutely fascinating review of the history of women’s beauty treatments from Antiquity to modern-day France.

Read in the bathtub late at night, in a ca. 1904-style bathroom (no bidet, however).

In French.
