| Notes | According to the introduction, this book was written based on anonymous surveys of young people to find out what rules of etiquette they were actually following instead of the rules they should be following according to etiquette books written by "members of the older generation." The book includes two separate sections (one for men and one for women) and discusses how each sex typically behaves at dances, in the street, in restaurants, and at home. |
| Contextual Notes | Mrs Grundy was a character from Thomas Morton's play Speed the Plough (1798). She was considered by English-language authors to be the personification of "anyone with extremely rigid standards of propriety that he or she applied in judging the actions of others."
