Ladies who lunch
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ladies who lunch is a phrase to describe well-off women who meet for lunch socially, normally during the working week. Typically, the women involved are married and non-working. Normally the lunch is in a restaurant, perhaps in a department store during shopping. Sometimes there is the pretext of raising money for charity.
"Ladies who lunch" were memorably skewered in Stephen Sondheim's Company. The ABC television series Desperate Housewives featured an episode "The Ladies Who Lunch". It was originally aired as Episode 16 on March 27, 2005.
