Synopsis

School, clubs, soccer practice, piano lessons, study groups, lattes with friends, dinner with grandparents, sleepovers, birthday parties, shopping—young ladies today are always on the go, their busy lives filled with activities and socializing. Girls interact with more people and in more places than ever before. But all of those opportunities to build friendships, make a good impression, and enjoy exciting experiences can go awry if she hasn't learned the basics of good conduct, respectful interaction, and thoughtful behavior.

While the formal rules of etiquette are not taught the way they once were, good manners are as critical today as they ever were. 50 Things Every Young Lady Should Know provides a modern update on the ageless idea that girls should know appropriate and courteous responses to any given situation. Good manners aren't just some quaint idea and old-fashioned concept from the past. They're an essential aspect of every young lady's path to adulthood and the skills she will need to thrive in whatever she chooses to do. In an ever-changing world, good manners never go out of style.

An excellent read for young ladies for (and I believe) any age woman or lass to learn the common courtesy and proper etiquette of a respectful lady in especial when you have ne'er been taught of such. Whether you follow these 'rules' religiously or not, it is certainly nice to just know! (Yes, the r......more

Goodreads review by Tiana on July 19, 2022

the book overall has some useful information but at lot it of it felt judge-mental in a way? Things like the ‘ a young lady never wears revealing clothes even if she’s proud of her figure’ and statements like that don’t make sense to me. Girls should be able to wear whatever makes them feel confiden......more
