Have you ever wondered how French women live life on their own terms? They seem to have conquered the modern world, with all its pressures and conflicting signals, while many of us elsewhere are struggling to balance love, sex, work and family. What French Women Know about Love, Sex and Other Matters of Heart and Mind, by Debra Ollivier, debunks long-standing myths about French women, and lets us in on the ways they have learned to take life as they want to live it. Going beyond the clichés of Gallic glamour, Ollivier looks at the guiding principles that play out in the French woman's world to challenge our own cherished notions about body politics, seduction and flirtation; sex and love; dating and marriage; motherhood and raising children. With fresh guiding metaphors from French sexperts, authors, actors and more, What French Women Know will reframe your cultural prejudices, providing more realistic and life-affirming alternatives from a culture that loves to love - and has been doing so for centuries.… (mais)

There are many explanations of what French women know.

But I adore their fundamental attitude: they love Men a lot a lot. And not surprisingly, the compliment is repaid by French men: they love Women a lot a lot. So the foundation is always there to build upon.

French women know men need a lot of tolerance and looking after. This view offers a certain relief in the "battle of the sexes" as it is played out in the States.

This book gets to the core of the famous French diet and way of eating, and how French women maintain their looks. The explanation is fundamental and understandable. ( )

Ollivier writes of the differences in men's and women's interpersonal relationships in the United States and France with discernment and humor, bringing in well-thought-out arguments for how the history of the two countries has shaped our views of ourselves and the opposite sex. An enjoyable read and great conversation starter. ( )

I really wanted to love this book -- so it was with dismay that I was disappointed. This reads more like a text book -- dry and witless -- I was looking forward to a sexy, funny, insightful read like Entre Nous. Overall it was just OK -- but if you do want to read it, I'd recommend you get it from the library and skim the areas of interest. ( )

If American author, Debra Olliver, sat down at my kitchen table and mentioned that she had lived in France for ten years with her French husband, and I in my exuberance asked her to tell me all about French women over coffee, What French Women Know would be a transcript of the resulting conversation. In a lengthy conversational essay, Olliver expounds on every personal anecdote, pop culture reference, and quote she can muster relating to the French woman—a woman who boasts an internationally acclaimed allure.

What can an American woman learn in the 240 pages addressing the secrets of the French approach to life, love and most definitely sex? If you’d like to know, first you must concede that the average French woman is simply sexier, more self assured, and more sophisticated than the average American woman. If you can accept that premise, then this smartly explores how French Culture produces a distinct woman, and how that woman captivates the world. What French Women Know is an enjoyable read, and the only book I’ve read to portray Edith Wharton as down right catty. ( )
