It's said if you want to succeed, watch successful people and do what they do. Simply Irresistible is a humorous manual of case studies that show how the greatest sirens of history did what they did and got what they wanted, nearly all the time. Our role models-many of whom are still weaving their charms today- include Eva Peron, Greta Garbo, Coco Chanel, Nigella Lawson, Angelina Jolie, Edith Piaf, Lucretia Borgia, Anne Boleyn, Mata Hari, and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. Simply Irresistible gives practical, sexy, and sometimes downright outrageous advice on modern seduction. It exalts the siren archetypes of the Companion, Competitor, Goddess, Mother, and Sex Kitten. The cheeky histories of the iconic real-life women are paired with a fun array of quizzes, quotes, photos, tongue-in-cheek captions, and personal stories of triumph and tragedy. (Mata Hari and Anne Boleyn were, after all, both executed.) The wisdom of these famous sirens is fleshed out with the contributions of everyday, lesser known charismatic women. The conclusion? All women have an inner siren-the ability to bring men to their knees-just waiting to come out. Now they'll know how.

An Interesting Read:
This book shows how your personality traits fit into a specific Siren type, and gives examples of famous women for each type.

A fairly good starter on the art of seduction for women:
If you're looking for a 'starter' guide into the art of seduction, this is it. There are many books and articles on seducing men, but many of them are just not satisfactory. It's true that men are visual creatures, but pure seduction is more than getting him into bed - it is also about making him fall in love. And to do the latter, seducing him visually is just not enough. This book gives some insight on how to make your victim fall in love. The interesting thing about Simply Irresistible is that... more info
Some history not found in the history books or feminism of a different form:
The siren-style of woman is one that is admired, hated, gossiped about, loved deeply from both near and far and often envied, sometimes all at once by the same person. At no times are they ever ignored. This book describes some of the most famous women of this type down through history. Other than being a siren, the characteristics of these women cover a wide swath of different types.
There are queens and empresses, such as Elizabeth I of England, Cleopatra of Egypt and Catherine the Great of Russia.... more info
