Despite claims that they somehow disappeared after women's liberation and our rise in politics and Corporate America, ladies are alive and well and thriving in the 21st century! In fact, the rebirth of ladies has begun. In a time when an entire generation of women has been coached to behave like men, a movement is growing. The message? Though times have changed, gentility, decorum, dignity, good manners and refined womanhood never went out of style.
