From dust jacket: .Here Florence King removes the veils pretenses disguises hypocrisies and just plain lies with which Southerners -- gentlemen ladies and poor white trash alike -- have confounded the rest of humanity. Where is the Southern Gentleman -- the cultured polished cavalier with the masculine dash of Rhett Butler the gallantry of the Tarleton twins the overbred estheticism of Ashley Wilkes Where is the Southern Lady -- aloof aristocratic proud serene and gracious Where indeed You’ll find them as they really are in the pages of Florence King’s book along with such Southern “types” as the Self-Rejuvenating Virgin the Penniless Junior Leaguer Ole Miss Housekeepers the Little Ole Lady Lush and the Brooding Beauregard. You’ll also attend that Southern hen party the Saturday Sherry that combines an honest-to-goodness receiving line with ninety-nine bottles of rotgut wine. You’ll work alongside the author on a Southern Woman’s Page as she copes with a D.A.R. publicity chairwoman who insists on writing her own headlines and a bride who insists on singing “I’d Rather Have Jesus” at her own wedding. “Yankees” Florence King says “Always make the mistake of going home the moment they realize they are going mad which is why they have never understood the South. They never grasp the fact that losing one’s mind is the most important prerequisite for fitting in with Southerners.” Southern Ladies and Gentlemen is the kind of guidebook to the South that will make “going home” insane and “going mad” a pleasure.
