    “Book Descriptions: Feminist historian Therese Oneill is back, to educate you on what to expect when you're expecting . . . a Victorian baby! In Ungovernable, Oneill conducts an unforgettable tour through the backwards, pseudoscientific, downright bizarre parenting fashions of the Victorians, advising us on:

    - How to be sure you're not too ugly, sickly, or stupid to breed
    - What positions and room decor will help you conceive a son
    - How much beer, wine, cyanide and heroin to consume while pregnant
    - How to select the best peasant teat for your child
    - Which foods won't turn your children into sexual deviants
    - And so much more


    Endlessly surprising, wickedly funny, and filled with juicy historical tidbits and images, Ungovernable provides much-needed perspective on -- and comic relief from -- the age-old struggle to bring up baby.”
