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.
