The Principles and Practices of Seduction is s a tongue-in-cheek exploration of how men court women. The book was written by Emily Hahn, an American journalist and author who is considered an early feminist and called “a forgotten American literary treasure.” The book came out of her frustration that there is nothing new under the sun in regard to seduction techniques used in particular from men towards women. When suggested by her friend to write about that, she produced this satirical how-to book about the art of seduction which clearly shows her bemused light writing style that seems to always questions the status quo with a bit of humor.
