Product Description

Synopsis
Whether a woman is a contractor, a stay-at-home mother, or a high-powered attorney, the suggestions in How to Be a Lady will cause others to think "Wow! She's got it all together!" If a lady is on a diet, she does not speak of it at the table; A lady never eats a meal while behind the wheel of a car; A lady makes it a point to know the names of the teams playing in the Super Bowl; The roles women play in society today are drastically different than they were 25 years ago, and some of the rules are different as well. Patterned after the successful How to Be a Gentleman, How to Be a Lady is a practical book of etiquette that is not snobbish, boring or intimidating. It is designed for a new century by discussing such issues as how to dress for the workplace, the importance of knowing self defense, and how to tactfully ask for the sexual history of a person with whom a lady is considering an intimate relationship

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, 1 Aug 2004
This book is great, it covers everyting from how to write a thank-you note, attending a wedding and a funeral, how to set a dinner table and much more, the author also writes some points which are small and easy to follow. A nice book.

2.0 out of 5 stars On eto give a Miss!, 15 Nov 2006
By Jane Sorrell "Janey" (London UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I was expecting a witty dialogue to go with the rules on being a lady. Unfortunately the book merely states the obvious - such as ' a lady never takes a mobile telephone into dinner' or ' a lady never wears revealing clothing'. It took an hour to read the contants which frankly could have been used more constructively.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not recommended., 27 Mar 2007
This book is pretty much pointless. It provides little practical advice but rather phrases such as "a lady knows what to do when so and so happens..". So you're left to figure what that right thing to do is.
