It's this: French women don't give a damn. They don't expect men to understand them. They don't care about being liked or being like everyone else. They accept the passage of time, celebrate the immediacy of pleasure, embrace ambiguity and imperfection, and prefer having a life to making a living. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In \u003ci\u003eWhat French Women Know\u003c\/i\u003e, Debra Ollivier goes beyond stale ooh- la-la stereotypes, challenging ingrained notions about sex, love, marriage, motherhood, and everything in between. With savvy, provocative thinking from French mistresses and maidens alike, Ollivier presents a refreshing counterpoint to the tired love dogma of our times, and offers realistic, liberating alternatives from the land that knows how to love.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDebra Ollivier \u003c\/b\u003eis the bestselling author of \u003ci\u003eWhat French Women Know \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eEntre Nous. \u003c\/i\u003eShe was raised in Los Angeles and attended UCLA and the Sorbonne where she received degrees in French literature.
