About this ebook
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.

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Wow! 1950’s much? This book, and these attitudes are very much out of date. Time has moved on, and sadly this author has completely missed the women’s movement, and expects the reader to look and behave like June Cleaver. Women don’t have to fall into nor believe these stereotypes anymore. I’m still reeling from the shock that this book was published in the 21st century. A poor read, not recommended.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Being a lady in today's modern world will get you ahead in every facet of your life, so I definitely recommend this book. It's concise, brief and easy to read.
However, the themes are mixed up in most chapters, and it does not cover every single aspect of a lady's social and personal life.
I enjoyed very much reading the book and have added at least 10 behavior skills I didn't know or applied in my social life.3 people found this helpful
