You’re Doing it Wrong is an outrageous tour through the centuries of bonkers and bad advice handed down and foisted upon women, told as only Kaz Cooke can – with humour and rage, intelligence and wit. Come with Kaz on a laugh-out-loud frolic through centuries of terrible advice, from 14th-century clergy to the Kardashians (wear a dress made of arsenic, do some day-drinking, have sex with a billionaire biker, worry about your vagina wrinkles). It’s also a roar against injustice, a rallying cry for sisterhood and a way to free ourselves from ludicrous expectations and imposed perfectionism. Kaz’s own 30-year history of interest and experience in advice – from her newspaper etiquette column to best-selling books, including Up the Duff and the Girl Stuff series – and years of archives and research have culminated in a full-colour, exuberant shout of a book with hundreds of wacky and sobering historical photos of objects and instructions. You’re Doing It Wrong examines what we’re told to do (change shape, shoosh, do all the housework), and what we’re not supposed to do (frown, have pockets, lead a country).

5.0 out of 5 stars Every woman, girl should read this.

It is incredible to realise how naive and ignorant we women have been throughout the ages. We have come a long way since it was decreed that woman are 'helpers' to the male sex. BUT, there has been a lot of tuition time for the male species to learn that we are not good only for sex, and kitchen duties. Girls must learn to love themselves first, have self esteem, and confidence. I know it is a big ask, but I am so glad that I am a woman, I feel more alive, know a whole lot more than I believe men do. I treat my husband of 58 years as a soul mate and friend, but have not told him that men are stupid. That would dent his ego. I value their strength though. What else can we do but learn to be discerning in our choices.

Be aware that it's written for by an Australian, so there's is a lot of Australian references within it - however - it is relevant to all westernized women.
