Emily Post ✦ FRQNCY PICK
American author who, in 1922, wrote the book that codified modern English-speaking etiquette — and then quietly evolved with the century. Less rule-keeper than translator: her work treats social protocol as a kindness, not a cage. The Emily Post Institute still operates, still publishes, still adapts.
