In our violent patriarchy, some mothers and teenage daughters may find that their shared target-status brings them closer together. N-O. Though the word No is one of the most potent in our language, it is among the least popular. In part, that s because most of us grew up associating that word with not getting what we wanted.

Young women will benefit their whole lives from learning that persistence only proves persistence it does not prove love.
