Despite claims that they somehow disappeared after women's liberation and our rise in politics and Corporate America, ladies are alive and well and thriving in the 21st century! In fact, the rebirth of ladies has begun. In a time when an entire generation of women has been coached to behave like men, a movement is growing. The message? Though times have changed, gentility, decorum, dignity, good manners and refined womanhood never went out of style. Wise enough to not believe the "new" rules advising them to throw away their femininity, strong enough to hold onto traditional values in a morally relaxed society, and adaptable enough to apply their own savvy and grace to ever-changing technology and business climates, ladies are reclaiming their rightful place again as the standard bearers for America. In this primer, the first of a trilogy on traditional etiquette in the 21st century, Certified Etiquette Consultant Felicia Layeni reveals what ladies know about: using social skills to thrive in any environment being a gracious hostess dating in the 21st century applying a soft touch to high tech to stand out raising respectful children using etiquette as an advantage in the workforce and much more!"

“A scholarly guide to etiquette as entertaining and amusing as a work of fiction” (Jane Austen’s Regency World Magazine). Have you ever wondered what it would have been like to live in the nineteenth century? How would you have gotten a partner in a ballroom? What would you have done with a letter of introduction? And where would you have sat in a carriage? Covering all these nineteenth-century dilemmas and more, this book is your must-have guide to the etiquette of our well-heeled forebears. As it takes you through the intricacies of rank, the niceties of the street, the good conduct that was desired in the ballroom, and the awkward blunders that a lady or gentleman would have wanted to avoid, you will discover an abundance of etiquette advice from across the century, and a lively, occasionally tongue-in-cheek, and thoroughly detailed history of nineteenth-century manners and conduct. This well-researched book is enjoyable, compelling reading for anyone with an interest in this period. In exploring the expectations of behavior and etiquette, it brings the world of the nineteenth century to life.

In preparing a book of etiquette for ladies, I would lay down as the first rule, "Do unto others as you would others should do to you." You can never be rude if you bear the rule always in mind, for what lady likes to be treated rudely? True Christian politeness will always be the result of an unselfish regard for the feelings of others, and though you may err in the ceremonious points of etiquette, you will never be impolite. Politeness, founded upon such a rule, becomes the expression, in graceful manner, of social virtues. The spirit of politeness consists in a certain attention to forms and ceremonies, which are meant both to please others and ourselves, and to make others pleased with us; a still clearer definition may be given by saying that politeness is goodness of heart put into daily practice; there can be no _true_ politeness without kindness, purity, singleness of heart, and sensibility.
