Riassunto

Lola Montez, one of the most opulent actresses and dancers of the 19th century, offers her advice on beauty oneself through cultivating physical charm, a debonair personality, and a sharp sense of style and dress. Chapters focus on different aspects of feminine beauty; the face, skin, eyes, complexion and chest all receive examination. The hair is of particular concern to the author, with several chapters dedicated to boosting its allure, vigor and appearance. Lifestyle choices, such as getting plenty of sleep each night and maintaining a good figure, are also highlighted as keys for true and sustained beauty. Despite the title, much of this book concerns cultivation of both character and social graces. Montez places emphasis on the need for good manners and refined behavior, and the value of charm and meaningful talk that is neither shallow nor empty. A well-modulated speaking voice, the choice of good jewelry, and a respectable dress sense are discussed for their importance.
