Every woman wants to put her best foot forward - and avoid those dreaded faux pas that turn off employers and co-workers, dates and friends. Written with zest and humour, this female-centered guide makes good behaviour simple and fun. It explains everything a lady needs to know to feel at ease no matter where she goes - from a business meeting to a romantic dinner, from a rock concert to a fancy wedding. What's more, this unstuffy rule book enlightens its audience on issues specifically confronted by women, such as how to ask out a guy; how to navigate the world of women's wear, from sensible work suits to the little black dress; and what the proper protocol is for applying makeup when in public.

People are judged by their actions and today it seems that good manners has been sorely neglected especially when raising children. This is a good book if you are looking to polish up your social manners which was why I bought it. I knew some of the information but there were social rules I wasn't aware of.

I suppose I'm what one might call a millenial. Materials on manners I read when I was growing up included (1) my mother's copies of Emily Post's Etiquette, (2) Miss Manners syndicated columns published in the newspaper, and (3) a manners books for elementary- and middle-school aged girls that included guidelines such as taking messages for phone calls before the prevalence of caller ID. However, I'm now a middle-class 20-something who finds myself using a cell phone from which I can access my e-mail at anytime--and so do the people around me!
As a relative newcomer to the "real world" as a young adult, I'm still considering investing in a more comprehensive etiquette book or two. However, I found the guidelines covered in this volume broad enough to cover most general situations in which I find myself nowadays. I'm quite glad to read tips for everyday situations such as looking presentable when running errands (lest you encounter a colleague or client from work) to advice on what a basic wardrobe for more formal occasions (e.g., ballet/opera/symphony orchestra performances, weddings, funerals, and more) should include.
For women my age, I'd say this book can be viewed as a good etiquette primer. I'm not sure what I'd say about this book for older women, however; this book might be too simple to women significantly older than I.

A good read and useful
This is a very funny book! The author has taken what could be a very dry recitation of do's and don'ts and instead has made it as if it were your best girl friend giving you the... Read more
