Modern Girl's Guide to Life FROM OUR EDITORS
Busy modern women know how to run corporations, dress to the nines, and power date, but they never learned how to find a bra that fits, balance a checkbook, fold a fitted sheet, or hem a pair of pants. Practical matters like entertaining, home repair, and etiquette elude them. While interviewing hundreds of young women, trend spotter Jane Buckingham realized that they shared her sense of ineptitude about "everyday things." The Modern Girl's Guide to Life is designed as a tutorial on skills not taught in M.B.A. programs.
