I bought this book in France a while ago and just stumbled the other day on it’s English version. A must read, Dangerous Women is an amazing collection of love stories featuring sixty powerful seductive women. But I must warn you that not all stories have happy endings!

From Biblical times to the present day, featuring mythical and real heroines, the book covers all the different faces of Love. The mysteries of desir, the magical powers of seduction and the forces behind their abilities to defy the laws of attraction.

Calypso managed to charm and keep for 7 years Ulysse to herself despite the adoration he had for his wife Penelope.

Francesca Da Rimini fell madly in love with her husband’s brother.

Omphale managed to make a slave out of the strong hero Hercules.

Ono no Komachi, the great Japanese poet received more love letters than the number of rain drops.

And so on… Jealousy, courage, treason, death and temptation. The Femmes Fatales decribed by Laure Adler, Journalist, Writer and Art Historian and illustrated with the help of Elisa Lecosse by works of da Vinci, Picasso, Dali and Tracey Emin will surely remind you of how powerful and dangerous Women in Love can be.

Unleash the power if you dare…
