A complementary volume to our very successful reissues of Mrs Humphry's Manners for Men, Manners for Women and What shall I say?, A Word to Women was first published in 1898. As in her other books, Mrs Humphry provides clear and practical advice. Some of what she says will raise a smile with the passage of time, but much is still relevant today. Chapters include Mothers and Daughters; Mothers and Sons; Good Manners at Home; Are Women Cowards?; Some Old Proverbs Candour as a Home Commodity; Golden Silence; Our Debts; The Domestic Girl; The Girl Bachelor; Lightheartedness; A Bit of Everyday Philosophy; The Pleasures of Middle-Age; Glowing Old.
