简介：随着现代女性解放，传统的维多利亚时期淑女定义被看作女性压迫和不平等。本片探寻淑女这一几乎消失的社交形象。Journalist Rachel Johnson goes in search of what seems an almost vanished social type - the lady. With a handful of vintage etiquette books to guide her and a generous helping of film archive, she wants to find out how the idea of the lady changed over time - and what it might mean to be one now. Along the way she tries out etiquette classes and side-saddle lessons, as well as discovering that debutante balls have been revived for export.
