Most people envision women as feminine and beautiful. But not all women are treated like they are feminine. Not all women know how to be or act in a feminine manner. Back in the day, women were taught proper etiquette. They were sent to finishing schools to polish how they acted and behaved in public.

Not as advertised

Could not finish. Very rambling, boring, and nonsensical. Not worth listening to, not what I expected from the title. Total waste of money and time.
