About the Author:
"Offers...not-so-outdated tips on achieving marital bliss, from not making him jealous to not laughing when she asks to drive the car." --Vanity Fair
"Words of wisdom for a happy marriage from nearly a century ago...The advice comes from a set of guidebooks on marriage written on the eve of the First World War...Penned by Blanche Ebbutt in 1913, they were first published at a time when women stayed at home while their husbands went out to work. Times have changed since then, but the advice could be considered as relevant today as ever." --The Daily Mail
Blanche Ebbutt wrote the original editions of Don'ts for Husbands and Don'ts for Wives, published in 1913.
