I feel badly that the feminists have done little to perserve femininity. Instead there is little that is feminine about them. Being feminine is not only fun, but it helps us to be better mothers, wives and people in general.
Here is a list of feminine characteristics from a very old book, but I still think many of them are so important to keep practicing. I need to work on most of them, but I'm a work in progress. A trim and disciplined body has been top of my list lately.

I absolutely 100% agree. I am woking on understanding and embracing my femininity. It is so lacking in the world! It's nice to see someone else has it on their mind!
What a wonderful list of traits to aspire to. I do think 'youthful, girlish styles' must shift as we age, but the rest seem timeless.
