How to be a Refined Woman?


How to be a lady? There are all sorts of theories on how to be a lady.

Two theories that stood out for me was that being a lady does not require wealth, though historically there were a larger proportion of ladies among the wealthy. The key to understanding of learning to how to become a lady is this: Learn through reading, understanding, imitation, acting and get over your blunders as soon as possible.

Manners, attitudes, appropriate dress and social mores have changed so dramatically that the definition of being a lady has left everyone confused. Success with Manners, the Australian School of Etiquette guides woman to gain the confidence of how to be more refined and act like a lady.

 

A lady by today's definition knows that educating herself in every way possible, from higher education to the common sense manners, empowers her to become a woman of accomplishment and poise. She knows it is not her dress size or the money she possess that brings her satisfaction in life.

A lady knows that beauty and wealth can be fleeting, but her inner character is the measure by which others will ultimately judge her as a person.

Her courtesies, the high esteem in which she holds herself and others, and her sincere words of praise and thoughtfulness will reflect her strong values and place her ahead in the minds and hearts of those who know her. Being thought of as a "lady" may be the one of the highest compliments a woman can receive in her life.

Being a lady is simply having extended manners such as always looking for a way to be kind and generous, as well as being a conqueror in life (meaning overcoming struggles and rising above difficulties). A lady has usually given thought and also more or less developed an organized way to go about life.

A lady should employ herself in personal grooming, dress well and learn etiquette.
