By Candace Simpson-Giles

Book Overview

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.

Charm School in a Book

This is a good primer for people who need to improve their manners, and it's a great book for brushing up on them. I love books like this, and this one is outstanding. The author wrote another book similar to this called "As A Lady Would Say," which I gave four stars. This one gets five because it is absolutely perfect.

How to Be a Lady

Excellent for every high school graduate to read and adopt.

Every lady should read this

In today's society women have been deluded into thinking immorality and sluttiness will get them the attention they desire. This book turns the tables on 'girls gone wild' and shows that femininity doesn't have to mean nudity. In fact being a lady can mean class and can mean being well spoken and people will still turn their heads when you walk into a room. In essence, you don't need to be a stripper to dress like a prostitute to get noticed. And this book is a wonderful start.Seth J. Frantzman

It's helpful LADY's common sense guide

this book helps me to start build up some lifetime manner. I read some of the review for being disappointed by the book about it is all about common sense that they heard thousand times. I still like this book and read all of them. Some of them I already knew, but some of them is new to me. Even though some of them I heard thousand times as well. I believe that written in words is totally different than the speaking the word. This book guide me the first step to be a real lady.
