Book Description
Dana Arvig Matthews offers insight into some important lessons that our parents or teachers may or may not have taught us. In our busy lives, it is easy to overlook little things like saying "please" and "thank you" or offering simple courtesies to strangers we encounter. Who decides what is courteous and how are those rules enforced? What happens when we are on the receiving end of poor behavior and do we know when we are the one behaving badly? On the heels of a global pandemic, will we be asking ourselves, "Is the handshake or hug as a greeting a thing of the past?" and "Will my meetings always be virtual?" Real life examples are used that convey the importance of good behavior and the consideration of others.

A charming reminder of what it takes to be an exemplary woman—someone who is mindful of the effect she has on others and knows how to breeze through an awkward conversation with poise. Of all the women you know, how many of them would you describe as “a lady”? Naturally, you know women who are kind and intelligent, witty and resourceful; but a lady is an altogether different variety of female. She’s mindful of the effect she has on those around her, and she’s careful not to let her words or appearance betray her true intentions. How to Be a Lady is a charming reminder of what it takes to be an exemplary woman—someone who knows how to breeze through an awkward conversation with poise, or delicately sidestep the beauty salon gossip. Candace Simpson-Giles delivers a delightful refresher course on what it means to be a lady among women.
