About this listen
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). It covers sex & romance, paid work, fashion & beauty, health advice, housework, and a motherlode of mad parenting instructions - from witchcraft to beauty pageants, with a side of aviatrixes. Put the kettle on and settle in.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Wonderful to have Kaz Cooke as the actual narrator
Kaz beautifully narrates this story and adds so much more to the book with her fantastic humour and story telling.

Loved every word.
Interesting content, shocking historical facts. Wonderfully narrated, and delivered with humour. I loved every bit of it. And I’d like to slap a few men around now.

Not funny but an interesting listen to non the less
I was expecting this book to be very funny as some of her other book are. I was disappointed on the humour side and almost gave up listening to it but I ultimately found it quite interesting. The suffrage and oppression of women has been around forever and still is (hopefully to a lesser extent).
