The Woman's Book of Dirty Words

"Women talk—a lot. Averaging 20,000 words daily, we excel in verbal communication, discussing everything from feelings to directives. Yet, why do certain words unsettle us? "Vacation," "dinner," and "holidays" often stress rather than relax us. Mary Fran Bontempo invites you to laugh, learn, and redefine these "dirty words" in a way that empowers. Trim your stress-inducing words list and revolutionize your vocabulary!"

About the Author: Mary Fran Bontempo
MARY FRAN BONTEMPO is an award winning author, speaker, humorist, and teacher who writes for and about women. After surviving the perfect storm—loss of work, a child suffering from addiction, and turning fifty—Mary Fran learned that a sense of humor and honesty about some really crappy stuff could help a gal get through the muck. "Not Ready for Granny Panties," the blog was born, followed by "The 11 Commandments for Avoiding Granny Panties," published in 2012. Her first book, "Everyday Adventures or, As My Husband Says, 'Lies, Lies and More Lies,'" was published in 2007. Mary Fran speaks frequently to women's groups about aging (Ugh!) and finding laughter in life's middle ground. Her work has been honored by the Erma Bombeck Writer's Workshop and Humor Press, among others. She currently writes for her blog, (www.notreadyforgrannypanties.com), and "Women's Voices Magazine."

We women like to talk.

We talk to the tune of around 20,000 words per day, if current science is to be believed. We talk to commune with our girlfriends, sisters and mothers, we talk to issue directives to our kids and families, we talk to share our feelings (ad nauseum, if you ask our husbands and partners), we talk at work, we talk at play, sometimes we even talk in our sleep.

Words are kind of our thing. We should be word experts. So why is it that certain words send us over the edge?

The words that take others to their happy place often make us miserable. Words like "vacation," "dinner," and "holidays" can leave us breathing into a paper bag with our head between our knees. But it doesn't have to be that way. Join Mary Fran Bontempo and redefine the "dirty words" that make women cringe. You'll laugh, learn, make some changes and trim your "dirty words" list down to size!
