Stuff Every Woman Should Know

This book was a High School grad. gift for my daughter and now I will order one for her best friend who is on her way to college..

If you want a book that has a story line then this book isn't for you! The book has advice and tips on common every day activities and tasks that women should obviously know! The tiny size of the book allows for it to be just thrown in your purse and keep at all times. Enjoyed the book and will probably pass it on to my children some day.

If you've ever needed to know how to change a tire, fake confidence, dress for your body type, host a cocktail party, kiss to knock his socks off, or throw a football, all in the same day, this is the book for you. It's not only cute and purse-sized, but packed with useful how-to's delivered in a fun and entertaining girlfriend-to-girlfriend format. Its predecessor, //Stuff Every Guy Should Know// by Brett Cohen, might teach men how to shave and build a fire, but //Stuff Every Woman Should Know// addresses everything from self defense to buying a car, from budgeting to makeup and dinner parties. Even if you never have to iron, Kalb's little book contains a vast amount of information on women doing things for themselves and explains how to look darn good while doing it. It's an entertaining read and informative with solid, common sense tips. Like Kalb herself says, this book won't win a Pulitzer, but it will tell you what your mom would have taught you if she'd grown up with three older brothers. Reviewed by Axie Barclay

I bought this as a gift and while it was appreciated, it was coupled in with several other gifts that got more fanfare than this. However, from what I've heard - this book was great. I'd recommend it for any new bride or female teen leaving home.
