They are, in other words, completely unlike us.
In her groundbreaking and utterly liberating new book, Debra 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. Peppered with anecdotes from its Franco-American author and filled with provocative thinking from French sexperts, mistresses and maidens alike, What French Women Know debunks long-standing myths and offers savvy new thinking from an old sexy culture.
Less a how-to and more a how-not-to (how not to be dogmatic about love, how not to "date", how not to mourn the end of youth), it presents a refreshing counterpoint to the stale love dogma of our times, and offers realistic, life-affirming alternatives from the land that knows how to love.

Ollivier Gives French Perspective

However, I do agree with the idea that there should be mystery with a woman with her man. The section on beauty is fantastic. I agree Americans want understanding and ruled ways of life, boxed up and easy to digest in a false happiness.
Also, the battle of the sexes and true feminism in America is a serious issue and is discussed in the book also.
Ironically some of these french ideas are very biblical (despite the book blaming protestant ideals being America's biggest problem but many protestant ideals weren't biblical either!)
Overall, it's a great book and the narrator is easy to listen to.

Where does What French Women Know rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
I quite enjoyed the book, it was fun and very insightful! I would definitely recommend it for anyone, but .. perhaps as a paper book.Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Debra Ollivier?
I don't know... but perhaps someone who isn't quite so... close to the material. The narration was quite good for the first half of the book, but towards the middle, every sentence started ending with a question-like tone? And it got really hard to listen to? Don't get me wrong, she has a lovely voice, but perhaps having someone else read it might have been preferable...Any additional comments?
The stories were delightful though, and I loved the book, just thought I would put in my two cents!Very good !

old immediately; eventually turned obnoxious and ultimately ruined the audible experience. I am sure the book version is better. The audio version is a regretted use of a monthly credit.
Tired of the French impersonations

As an American woman, it's a different approach to being a wife, mother, professional, etc. it strikes me as much lower stress. I really enjoyed the perspective.Refreshing
