"Biting the Dust" is a non-fiction book that has been around for years, but I have only just read it.

I've forgotten her name already. The author is an English journalist. The subject is the history of house-cleaning. My paperback copy is no doorstop, just the average-sized book; nevertheless it is packed with carefully researched information into centuries of women waging the never-ending war against dirt and filth.

The author is a woman interviewing both men and women, and she writes with concise with. And she HATES being condescended to, so she has a bone to pick with the highly successful Don Aslett. I thoroughly enjoyed reading "Biting the Dust."
