Book Reviews of The Art and Power of Being a Lady

Book Review: Charming & inspiring!
Summary: 5 Stars

I really enjoyed this book, and learned several things that I wanted to know, and several things about which I knew nothing and am glad I know now so I can change my behavior or actions accordingly. It's a mix of common sense, golden rules, defining what a lady is and what it means - a very positive and enchanting term! -do's and don'ts, and how to handle certain situations. In addition, there's enlightening quotes and short anecdotes from ladies we all admire and respect. It does cover some etiquette as well, but is not an all-out etiquette guide. Generally, a lady has good etiquette. For etiquette specifics one may not be certain about, references to other excellent books are provided. This is a quick and easy read and the needed information can be found without difficulty and assimilated without being overwhelmed. I found this book charming, and would recommend it to others seeking practical information on polishing one's image and wanting to feel like and be a lady in the many roles in which we work and live!

Summary of The Art and Power of Being a Lady

"Lady." Let's face it: the word brings to mind a host of associations? many of which call to mind costume dramas or tea-sipping debutantes. That is, until The Art and Power of Being a Lady? the book that brushes the cobwebs off and makes "lady" relevant to every girl and woman ? whether her role model is Audrey Hepburn, Oprah Winfrey, Madeleine Albright, Lauryn Hill, or Mia Hamm. In an era when looking out for one another and taking the high road is too often lost in the shuffle, today's lady has not forgotten what's important. She is kind and considerate without being a doormat. She's assertive, but never a bully. She is sexy without being vulgar. She has great style but is never superficial. She gives back without asking for kudos. And from now on, the perfect word to describe her is "lady."
