Disappointed. Thought this was going be a more substantial thought piece on what it means to be a "lady." Very basic advice. Grown women know they need to service their car, not gossip, say thank you, etc - at this point in your life you're either doing it or you're not. This book could be appropriate for teenage girls - coupled with a follow up conversation about the standards and societal expectations of womanhood.

This book is not your traditional guide on how to write thank you notes and arrange flowers and that alone makes it a pleasant surprise. This little volume is grounded in the modern day-to-day life and talks about how to not only be a gracious hostess but also a strong, independent, self-sufficient woman who knows how to change the spark-plugs on her car. I'll recommend this book to anyone who's interested in reading about what it takes to be a lady in today's world.
