An Alberta School called “Eleanor Hall School” in Clyde, Alberta has an optional “Women Studies” class, which teaches female students polite conversation and dinner party etiquette.

Students will learn how to “enhance their natural beauty and express confidence” by “analyzing the shape of their faces to determine which hairstyle is most flattering (and) assessing their body shape to choose clothing styles that are the most complimentary”. Subjects include nail application skills, basics of web design, reproductive health, the role of women in history, and a study at how beauty is seen by the media and different cultures around the world.

The girls will go on a field trip to a food and cosmetology high school classroom where they will “plan recipes, table settings, dinner music and review dinner party etiquette and polite conversation. The girls will spend the afternoon learning about nail care and application.”
