"An edition of a rare 1694 manual, The Ladies' Dictionary: being a General Entertainment for the Fair Sex, is going up for auction next month. It reveals the bizarre, and often hilarious, home remedies and etiquette tips offered to women during the reign of William and Mary. Described as the Cosmopolitan magazine of its day, its pages include pointers on dating, make-up, diet and expanding the mind."
