Trendsetters: Emily Post

Womanica - A podcast by iHeartPodcasts and Wonder Media Network

Emily Post (c. 1870s - 1960) wrote one of the most popular books on etiquette. A novelist, columnist, and radio personality, Emily’s 1922 book Etiquette in Society, in Business, in Politics and At Home was the pivot point that turned her into a superstar. As a teen, Emily was very popular in the elite New York debutante balls, and with her etiquette handbook her influence continued to have authority in the scene and among broader society.
