Description

In a world where women and girls are constantly under attack from the media with photoshopped, airbrushed images and pop-stars that tell them all they need to do is party all the time, kiss a lot of boys, be a mean girl to gain popularity, max their credit cards to buy designer clothes, etc., The Lost Art of Ladyhood communicates the counterpoint to those of our teen pop stars. Happiness does not come from revealing all your skin, going clubbing every weekend where you get so drunk you dont remember who you kissed, or maxing your credit cards just so you can buy the latest designer jeans. Happiness comes from living a life of character.Teaching girls how to be ladylike has little to do with crossing your ankles and sipping tea correctly; its about giving them tools and skills they can use to serve others, to be grateful, to think positively, to set powerful goals, to protect themselves from toxic relationships, and to learn to love themselves enough to where they learn to love others. The Lost Art of Ladyhood is a road map for navigate your way to confidence, classy-ness, character, and learning the lost art of being a lady.

"Sadly we live a world where girls feel so much pressure to sacrifice their integrity for popularity. This is not the future I wish for my daughter or any young woman on the planet. Thankfully there's Jessie Funk. She's cool enough to be your older sister and wise enough to be your aunt. The principles in this book will help my daughter and yours grow to become true women of character, confidence, and substance."

"Today's world is full of so many clamoring voices that indoctrinate our young women to believe that they are not good enough unless they measure up to society's unrealistic definition of beauty and success. Jessie Funk is a vital voice for the truth, and provides young girls the structure, framework, and inspiration to understand their true beauty and live in a way that creates true success. A girl who knows who she is, what she is worth, and what she can accomplish in her life is unstoppable. These are the types of women we need for the society of tomorrow, so this is the type of education we need to be providing our daughters today."
