The Female Disciplinary Manual

More about the book

From the "The refinements of disciplinary suffering that lie in expertly administered detentions and impositions will be a revelation to most readers. The celebrated introduction to the book, despite its fantasy setting, is a seminal essay on the philosophy of discipline which shows that the authoresses of the book mean what they say very seriously. Far from regarding themselves as part of the "perverted" sado-masochist fringe, they feel that genuine discipline is the only way forward for a decaying civilisation. A fascinating afterword tells how the book came into being. The story of how these private papers grew into the definitive how-to book on the subject of feminine discipline is a delightful bonus to this handsome new clothbound edition."
