Southern women are experts at combining femininity and charm with shrewdness and strength. They manage life and love with grace, wit, and optimism -- and their allure is undeniable. Men are drawn to them; women are fascinated by them. And it's not just the honeysuckle drawl. As revealed by Ronda Rich, a born and bred Steel Magnolia, it's much more. But you don't have to be born in the South to benefit from the attributes of the Southern woman. Just follow the closely guarded secrets revealed here for the first time...
Rich engagingly makes her case with hilarious anecdotes about Dixie chicks who have succeeded in life and love by applying their Steel Magnolia principles.

June 26, 2003: I finished reading What Southern Women Know and was completely charmed by every word.It's a must for every woman feeling a bit taken back by the overly testostrone run world we live in nowadays.This wonderful book tought me to let the testotrone mentality go and be a feminine woman again, while still getting what I want but not demanding it. The advice is so right on about how men and women interact and how this interaction has changed little throughout the years. Men want women who respect themselves,and this theme is constant.My self esteem has improved,my sense of what being a woman means,has improved.

June 02, 2003: This book was a absolute joy to devour! With little untold secrets of everything from bargaining to keeping love, it had me even speaking with a Southern accent in a matter of hours. It gave new perspective on the joys and profits of being feminine in a dog-eat-dog world, and how to use that feminism in to profiting everyone- while getting what you want. It reflects Christian values in a new and fresh and Southern way. I have loved this book, every time I've read it.
