Emily Post (1873-1960) was a United States author who promoted
proper etiquette. Born in Baltimore, Maryland, she was the only
daughter of famous architect Bruce Price. She was home-educated and
attended Miss Graham's finishing school in New York. She married
society banker Edwin Main Post in 1892 and had two sons. After her
divorce, financial need compelled her to write, and she produced
newspaper articles on architecture and interior decoration, stories
and serials for such magazines as Harper's, Scribner's, and the
Century, as well as light novels, including Flight of the Moth
(1904), Purple and Fine Linen (1906), Woven in the Tapestry (1908),
The Title Market (1909), and The Eagle's Feather (1910). All proved
popular successes.
In 1922, her book Etiquette became a best seller and set the
stage for her later career as an educator on social graces. Updated
versions of Etiquette are still in print today. In 1946, she
founded The Emily Post Institute which continues her work.
