What Southern Women Know (That Every Woman Should)

By: Ronda Rich

Narrated by: Ronda Rich

The allure of Southern women is undeniable. Men are captivated by them, other women are mystified. Even the South's most treacherous enemy, General William Sherman, fell victim to the fluttery charms of a Georgia belle and loved her to the end of his life. So, what does a Southern woman have that other women do not possess?

Simply put, Southern belles survive in a man's world while wrapped in a pouf of flowery femininity and gracious manners. In fact, Southern women often over-emphasize their femininity and use it as one of their most successful tools in business and life.

What Southern Women Know is the business book for women who want to be successful without sacrificing their femininity, good manners, and family-centered traditions and life-style.

Critic reviews

"A born-and-bred Steel Magnolia reveals her secrets for success, and, frankly my dear, 'Scarlett O'Hara couldn't have said it better.'" ( Atlanta Journal Constitution)

"Reading her book is like watching a hilarious episode of the sitcom Designing Women." ( The Tennessean, Nashville)

Not As Good as Reading It

What did you like best about this story?

The book is wonderful! Funny and useful and so true!

How did the narrator detract from the book?

But Ronda Rich is a terrible narrator! She is fairly monotone and her voice is high pitched and annoying to listen to. Also, she slurs words rather than enunciating! For example, "strength" is "strenth." I am used to (and LOVE) Southern accents, but Rich's accent is a country Southern and it's terrible.

Grateful

This book has helped me with something I've struggled with forever. Im Brooklyn NY born & bred with the buried deep heart of a Southern Belle. I didn't know how to combine the 2, & knew there had to be a way because I couldn't rid my Bklyn verve but couldn't make it work in a lady like way. Yes! I am a lady & want that to show.

Would you consider the audio edition of What Southern Women Know (That Every Woman Should) to be better than the print version?

I really enjoyed listening to this in the writer's own voice. A very amusing presentation and I also learned a lot.

Charming & endearing

Wisdom comes in hilarious and far too charming ways. This was like sitting on my family’s porch listening to the stories of my elders and hanging on each word while awaiting the next. I loved it!
