“How to Be a Hepburn in a Kardashian World” Book Review


“How to Be a Hepburn in a Kardashian World,” by Jordan Christy, is a self-help book attempting to teach young women how to uphold class, elegance, and manners in 2019. While offering some insightful bits of advice, this book seems to mislead young girls with a few outdated policies to live by.

“I like Audrey Hepburn because she’s very true to herself,” said Allie Pramberger (’22).

Chapter seven of Christy’s guide is titled “Let Him Come Calling.” One of the central ideas of this chapter is that “guys want a girl to chase after, and girls want a guy to want to track them down.” She proves this by providing examples of men and women in the past, such as Adam and Eve, with gentlemen initiating the relationship. 

While in the past, this might have been the norm, evidently a

How to Be a Hepburn in a Kardashian World: The Art of Living with Style, Class, and Grace

I’m still fuming after reading this. This book sends so many bad messages to women I’m hesitant to even give it the light of day on my read shelf. But, I will suck it up and write this review to warn any potential readers. While there is some good advice in this book, the absolutely terrible anti-feminist, self hating advice here is just too overpowering. “Don’t wear spaghetti straps because you might distract a coworker” what century are we living in??!?? “At risk of sounding like a hokey self help guru, I’m convinced that every person has a unique set of gifts...” “would grandma approve of your audition tape” and don’t get me started on the advice to hold off on polarizing views.😫 Basically don’t try to change the world, stay quiet and polite. What the heck. This book is contributing to the silencing and slut shaming of women. Don’t speak up, be quiet, don’t be yourself, cover yourself up so you don’t make your married coworker uncomfortable. Also, there was a note here about the “unattainable” Greek goddess body? I think that was a pretty bad description or maybe she was
