Rebecca (rocky1) - reviewed How To Be A Lady: A Contemporary Guide To Common Courtesy on + 52 more book reviews
I am one of those individuals who feels that being a lady is sometimes overrated. Sometimes, there are situation that call for being a red-blooded woman, and that involves the occasional temper tantrum, the lack of courtesy, the excuse to just be a royal b**** once in awhile, and not care what a lady would do in your situation.
However, I did find this to be a helpful book-telling you what is (and is not appropriate) for social situations and one's personal life. There are some things a lady would do, that I agree with, such as, if throwing a dinner party, do not let guests drive home drunk if they are intoxicated. However, there are other items I strongly disagree with, such as being a bridesmaid even when one does not really want to.
The advice is good, but some should be taken with a grain of salt. I would rather be doing things that make me happy vs. being a lady just to appear polite for society.
