There is a book my daughter and I used that we enjoyed.

It is called, "The Privilege of Being a Woman" by
Alice Von Hildebrand.

Well I don't know if this lady was a masonic she-devil, but I am going to say Emily Post's Ettiquette.

She was born in the 1880's (I think) and died around 1960.

I doubt she was a Catholic but she set the standard for ladylike charm. I am certain that a) I could use a brush-up and b) her book is a goldmine of information for ladies of all ages.

Fascinating Womanhood (For the married and engaged)
The Fascinating Girl (For the single woman)

FE people say that the author is a mormon. are they right or it is just their feminist anger?

Yes, that is a most excellent book. It brought a few hard truths home to me as well as giving good advice re. modesty, ambition in the workplace etc.

Yes, but what difference does it make? There's nothing disagreeable to a Catholic in FW, except for perhaps her outlook on sɛҳuąƖ relations with your husband. I read the book cover to cover, and I don't see anything in there that would contradict the Catholic Faith, barring that one chapter where she mentions withholding relations for whatever reason.

In fact, a lot of the things she says are extremely Catholic, especially her outlook on a lot of mental illnesses caused by sin.

I don't know much about the people on FE, but I have heard that they ban people for making mention of the pants issue.

So... consider the source.
