Summary: Nothing we didn't already know but nice to be reminded
Comment: There is nothing in here that any reletively educated and sensitive person wouldn't know about. It's basically saying that a lady is fair, honest, decent, sensitive, pays her own way when appropriate and generally works on herself to be evolved person without turning into a man. It is a great book - nothing substantial in here and you'll read it in an hour but never the less it is really good to see these books getting out now. Post-Feminism is great!!

Summary: GREAT BOOK, WELL WORTH READING
Comment: Today's woman is much more than an extension of her husband's identity or a person whose place is to "rattle pots and pans in the kitchen." There is absolutely nothing wrong with rattling pots and pans, if that is one's choice. Even today, there are many woman whose work is solely in being a homemaker. Raising children and making a house a home is no easy job. However, what women do have today is choices.
In the home or outside the home, as this book points out, many of today's women are emotionally and financially independent, free-spirited, and a fair number are well-educated, worldly travelled, informed professional women. From social style and grace to responsibility and even humour, this book is interesting from start to finish. Unlike early generations of women, today's women are restricted only by self-imposed limitations. There is nothing in this world we cannot accomplish with hard work, determination, perseverance and commitment. Oprah Winfrey is a shining example to women everywhere that we truly can overcome life's challenges, no matter how great or small. She is a woman who exudes class and style and, indeed, a lady in every sense of the word. As readers will learn through the pages of "The Art and Power of Being a Lady" any female is born a women, but being a lady requires much more...refinement, etiquette, style, class and feeling confident and good about who you are and what you are doing. This book gives readers a better understanding of what really separates "the women from the ladies."

Summary: GREAT modern etiquette!
Comment: You can learn how to set a table for high tea or how to word a classical wedding invitation from Emily Post. But what is a "lady" in the twenty-first century? Is being a lady even relevant anymore?
This handy little guide makes etiquette accessible for the modern lady. Being a lady doesn't mean requiring smelling salts or using bland flowery language all the time. It's about handling a crisis with grace, turning people down with polite elegance, and yes, even swearing - with class.
Simple enough for young readers, yet relevant enough for Grown Women who like the sound of the word Lady, this is among the best etiquette books for today.
