Emily Post
was the author of articles on architecture and
interior design and of romantic stories on
American and European society before becoming
known for her 1922 book Etiquette in Society,
in Business, in Politics, and at Home, which
remains the standard by which all social manners
are judged today. |
Dorothy Dix
was the pen name of Elizabeth Meriwether Gilmer,
writer of an advice column called "Dorothy
Talks." In her column, Dorothy scolded women
for being vain, self-pitying, nagging, or
profligate. She also believed that anyone who was
taken in by a gold digger "deserved all he
got." |
