But who was the woman behind the myth, the authority on good manners who has outlasted all comers? Award-winning author Laura Claridge presents the first authoritative biography of the unforgettable woman who changed the mindset of millions of Americans, an engaging book that sweeps from the Gilded Age to the 1960s.

Born shortly after the Civil War, Emily Post was a daughter of high society, the only child of an ambitious Baltimore architect, Bruce Price, and his wellborn wife. Within a few years of his daughter’s birth, Price moved his family to New York City, where they mingled with the Roosevelts and the Astors as well as with the new crowd in town–J. P. Morgan and the Vanderbilt clan. Blossoming into one of Manhattan’s most sought-after debutantes, Emily went on to marry Edwin Post, planning to re-create in her own home the happiness she’d observed between her parents. Instead, she would find herself in the middle of a scandalous divorce, its humiliating details splashed across the front pages of New York newspapers for months.

Traumatic though it was, the end of her marriage forced Emily Post to become her own person. She would spend the next fifteen years writing novels and attending high-powered literary events alongside the likes of Mark Twain and Edith Wharton, but in middle age she decided she would try something different.

When it debuted in 1922 with a tiny first print run, Etiquette represented a fifty-year-old woman at her wisest–and a country at its wildest. Claridge
addresses the secret of Etiquette’s tremendous success and gives us a panoramic view of the culture from which Etiquette took its shape, as its author meticulously updated her book twice a decade to keep it consistent with America’s constantly changing social landscape.

A tireless advocate for middle-class and immigrant Americans, Emily Post became the emblem of a new kind of manners in which etiquette and ethics were forever entwined. Now, nearly fifty years after her death, we still feel her enormous influence on how we think Best Society should behave.]]> 2776402 3.34 127 57 186123 4.00 4 0 2008 2052770 184310184X 9781843101840 0 <![CDATA[How to Live with Autism: Practical Strategies for Parents]]> http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2052770.How_to_Live_with_Autism_Practical_Strategies_for_Parents 4.00 2 186123 4.00 4 0 2004 7083330 1433200414 9781433200410 0 <![CDATA[Keeping the House]]> http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7083330-keeping-the-house 0.0 0 267672 3.59 311 120 186123 4.00 4 0 2007 7350863 0786148616 9780786148615 0 <![CDATA[Mildred Pierce]]> http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7350863-mildred-pierce 5.00 1 2977651 4.33 3 1 186123 4.00 4 0 2007 323908 0140307095 9780140307092 0 <![CDATA[The Tramp and the Dog (Puffin Books)]]> http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/323908.The_Tramp_and_the_Dog 3.00 1 186123 4.00 4 0 1975 3750460 0803953046 9780803953048 0 <![CDATA[Doing "Women's Work": Men in Nontraditional Occupations (SAGE Series on Men and Masculinity)]]> http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3750460.Doing_Women_s_Work_Men_in_Nontraditional_Occupations 0.0 0 186123 4.00 4 0 1993 323910 0340775785 9780340775783 0 <![CDATA[Teach Yourself Planning a Wedding]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173754444m/323910.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173754444s/323910.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/323910.Teach_Yourself_Planning_a_Wedding 0.0 0 186123 4.00 4 0 2000 323907 0761922741 9780761922742 0 <![CDATA[Feminist Views of the Social Sciences (The ANNALS of the American Academy of Political and Social Science Series)]]> http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/323907.Feminist_Views_of_the_Social_Sciences 0.0 0 Among the many achievements of the feminist movement of the 1970s was the unprecedented influx of women into academia. Over the last 25 years, women have entered the social sciences in huge numbers - bringing with them new perspectives and new insights into the social world.

This special issue of The Annals reflects on this multivocal, richly textured, and dynamic revolution. From anthropology to psychology to geography to criminology and more, leading feminists reflect on the most significant contributions of feminist activism and feminist research to their fields. Two main themes run through this volume: the relationship between feminist scholarship and feminist activism, and the enduring controversies and future direction of feminist social science.

The contributions run the gamut from the impact of feminism on specific social science disciplines such as family studies, archaeology, political science, and media studies to the influence of feminist thought on specific topics such as federally funded social science, migration, media practices, and sexuality. The main conclusion of this volume is that, "where reigning paradigms are strong and the accepted methodologies are limited, feminist perspectives tend to be marginalized. On the other hand, fields that are theoretically eclectic and interdisciplinary appear to be the most welcoming to feminist influence."
