Answer 2

A lady is a woman who is the counterpart of a lord; or, the counterpart of a gentleman.

No one can deny that today’s girls and women face a role and challenge quite different from their grandmothers. The art of being a lady can involve several different life circumstances such as friendship, social responsibility, romance, style of dress, and issues in the workplace.


I believe that if we look at the definition of a lady and break down and digest each portion independently, we can have a genuine understanding about how to be a lady in each of these circumstances.


When addressing a group of women, the term lady is used as a polite reference. This does not mean that all present are true ladies. The same conclusion holds true for men.


The definition of a lady is a well-mannered and considerate woman with high standards of proper behavior;

a woman regarded as proper and virtuous; a well-behaved young girl; a woman of refinement and gentle manners; a woman of superior social position; a woman having proprietary rights or authority; and finally, any of various titles given to women in Great Britain.


A woman can have the title of lady as a courtesy but not by right. Men aren’t born gentlemen and women aren’t born ladies. That title must be earned.


To begin, let’s explore the meaning of the words contained within the definition of a lady.


To be considerate is to be thoughtful, having respect or regard for circumstances and feelings of others.


Standards are levels or grades of excellence, attainment, etc., regarded as a goal or measure of adequacy.


Proper is that which is appropriate for a specific purpose or condition; decent; chaste, and modest.


Behavior is basically manners. Conduct, carriage of oneself with respect to propriety or morals, deportment, and an expression of external appearance or action all describe behavior.


Virtuous is defined as having the characteristics of virtue which are general moral goodness, having right action and thinking, uprightness, rectitude, and morality. Some synonyms of virtue are chastity, efficacy, goodness, faithfulness, honesty, integrity, and justice.


To be refined is to be free of moral imperfection; free from what is coarse, vulgar or uncouth; and to become pure or perfected.


A woman of superior social position is one who puts into action an excellent attitude of behavior in social arenas.


Proprietary is the quality or state of being proper; a conformity to what is socially acceptable in conduct or speech; a fear of offending against conventional rules of behavior especially between the sexes; and the customs and manners of polite society.


A true lady balances power and grace. She is a virtuous woman who possesses poise, finds a win-win solution without hurting others in the process, avoids male bashing, is compassionate, is generous, and knows when saying nothing is better. Who’s teaching today’s young children to be ladies and gentlemen according to the true definitions?
