“The author is unknown.
The date on which it was first published is uncertain, but was probably in 1761 in Paris.
What is certain is that this is the first book, in English, the main subject of which is females (femdoms) spanking males, usually with a birch.
The book is a series of spanking anecdotes and stories involving role play: mistress, mother, stepmother, governess, maid, housekeeper etc. : Scenarios not unfamiliar with dominatrices of today.”
