Contradicts Being A Lady
I was very turned off by this book for many reasons. The authors seem to confusion what being a lady is with simply being a strong woman. Sure you can be both, but being able to check your oil and balance your check book have nothing to do with good character and social grace. I am a female military member and I have been successful in truly what is a man's career for the past 12 years. I know what it means to be a strong woman and yet I have maintained being a lady because of the way I was raised. In my opinion the authors made it seem that every woman is a lady, which discounts what it truly means to be a lady. The authors also condone one night stands...that is correct these women say it is ok for a LADY to have one night stands. There is also mention of wearing snake skin mini skirts at clubs, fish net stockings and knowing when to have a keg at a party. None of which would be considered lady like where I am from. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and mine is the authors have NO IDEA what it truly mean to be a real lady, modern strong feminist woman maybe, but not a lady. I gave the book to a friend who wanted to read it for herself...I told her not to worry about returning it.
