Your Question
Enjoyed reading Men & Manners. Is one available on Women & Manners? If a post was done previously, could you please tell/explain to access it? Thank you very much.

Thanks for your question, Elizabeth, and for being a Regency Reader!

Men and Manners (1809) is the name of the publication that I have been sharing maxims from monthly.  I list all the previous posts in the monthly post, so you can easily access them all.  The next post will be up on the 16th.  You can find the posts by selecting from the left hand side menu Regency Culture and Society (category).  This category also contains similar posts, like one from December that shared miscellaneous maxims in the Lady’s Magazine.

I have not found a specific book called Women and Manners, but I have featured a lot of content on etiquette.  You can use the search bar and type in etiquette to find various instructionals on manners for men and women.  Included are tips for letter writing, etiquette of a carriage ride, the etiquette of the call, gloves, large/small talk, and so much more.  Many of these guidebooks are written by women for women, so its worth exploring if you are specifically looking for maxims for women.

Please drop a comment if there are different etiquette topics you would like to see in the future!
