Publisher's summary
A charming reminder of what it takes to be an exemplary woman - someone who is mindful of the effect she has on others and knows how to breeze through an awkward conversation with poise.
Of all the women you know, how many of them would you describe as "a lady"? Naturally, you know women who are kind and intelligent, witty and resourceful; but a lady is an altogether different variety of female. She's mindful of the effect she has on those around her, and she's careful not to let her words or appearance betray her true intentions.
How to Be a Lady is a charming reminder of what it takes to be an exemplary woman - someone who knows how to breeze through an awkward conversation with poise, or delicately sidestep the beauty salon gossip. Candace Simpson-Giles delivers a delightful refresher course on what it means to be a lady among women.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Modern women - who use psychotherapeutic antidepressants at a rate never before seen in history - need liberating now more than ever. The truth is, feminists don't know what liberation is. They have led us into a very boring dead end. Once those fictionalized stereotypes are out of the way - whether they're things that make you gag or things you think look pretty fun - Christians can focus on real women. What did God make real women for?

How can you have a rich and fulfilling life? The choices you make, not your income or financial assets, are the most powerful determining factor for your quality of life. Women have never had so many options. Yet we often experience a kind of paralysis, an unconscious willingness to follow societal dictates rather than become the CEOs of our own lives. When we mindlessly follow the dots, we smother our innate gifts and miss opportunities to fulfill our true potential.

Story
Mad Women is a tell-all account of life in the New York advertising world of the 1960s and '70s from Jane Maas, a female copywriter who succeeded in the primarily male environment portrayed by the hit TV show Mad Men. Fans of the show are dying to know how accurate it is: did people really have that much sex in the office? Were there really three-martini lunches? Were women really second-class citizens? Jane Maas says the answer to all three questions is unequivocally yes....

History often appears to consist of big gestures and dramatic shifts. But for every peace treaty signed, someone set the stage and provided the pen. As social secretary to the Clintons for eight years, and more recently as chief of protocol under President Obama, Capricia Penavic Marshall has not just borne witness to history, she facilitated it. For Marshall, diplomacy runs on the invisible gesture: the micro-moves that affect the macro-shifts. Facilitation is power, and more often than not, it is the key to effective diplomacy.

How can you have a rich and fulfilling life? The choices you make, not your income or financial assets, are the most powerful determining factor for your quality of life. Women have never had so many options. Yet we often experience a kind of paralysis, an unconscious willingness to follow societal dictates rather than become the CEOs of our own lives. When we mindlessly follow the dots, we smother our innate gifts and miss opportunities to fulfill our true potential.

But with global cultures in flux and the post-pandemic digital age, shadow epidemics of anxiety and loneliness are on the rise. Plus, the old rules of “decorum” don’t match the times. Amidst all this withdrawal and change, social growth can feel out of reach. How do we leave the comfort of our homes, step away from our screens, and interact face to face?

Cool to be a lady today
I’m so glad that I listened to this book. It helps me to feel more confident about my actions, my behavior, my attitudes, and my appearance. The world appears to be more casual today, but part of the reason for casualness is due to fear. For me, it’s important to get to know my own desires, ways I would like to express myself and how I would love to look. And then research and learn about how to best carry these things out. This book shows readers how to aim high. Thank you to the author for writing it, and to the narrator for expressing it beautifully.

more useful to a modern monarch
Most of this book is useless to the every day lady. I enjoyed this book and I plan on following it's advice but I can't give it more than 3 stars b.c so much doesn't apply to me (or anyone I know). As well as the fact that so much wasn't explained. For example, "a lady knows how to address a senior authority figure, she know that meeting such a person calls for more respect than meeting a peer..." And just moves on w.o giving more of an explanation or example. But will explain the reasoning or etiquette behind leaving a theatre during a coughing fit. This book would be more fitting for me if I were a Dutchess, but I'm just a 23 year old woman looking for a guide to politeness and etiquette to improve the quality of my life and relationships. I'm going to have to keep searching, but this was a nice preview. I hope it will be more helpful to others!

A lot of time could have been saved not repeating two words...
“A lady knows what colors, fabrics and patterns do nothing for her.” - from the department of the obvious
“A lady doesn’t text or talk when visiting others or when at a place of business” - that one is one I wish more people nowadays would follow.
It was okay but so repetitive with the “a lady....” repeated hundred of times.
I felt it was more like Miss Manners than anything particularly earth shattering.
It mostly made me think of classless people I know and reassure me that I’m not a snob for thinking, “manners never go out of style.”
