A WOMAN
SHOULD HAVE...enough money within her control to move out and rent a place of
her own, even if she never wants to or needs to...
A WOMAN
SHOULD HAVE ...something perfect to wear if the employer, or date of her dreams
wants to see her in an hour...
A WOMAN
SHOULD HAVE ..a youth she's content to leave behind....
A WOMAN
SHOULD HAVE ...a past juicy enough that she's looking forward to retelling it
in her old age....
A WOMAN
SHOULD HAVE ..a set of screwdrivers, a cordless drill, and a black lace bra...
A WOMAN
SHOULD HAVE ...one friend who always makes her laugh... and one who lets her
cry...
A WOMAN
SHOULD HAVE ....a good piece of furniture not previously owned by anyone else
in her family...
A WOMAN
SHOULD HAVE ...eight matching plates, wine glasses with stems, and a recipe for
a meal, that will make her guests feel honored...
A WOMAN
SHOULD HAVE ...a feeling of control over her destiny...
EVERY
WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...how to fall in love without losing herself...
EVERY
WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...how to quit her job, break up with a lover and confront a
friend without ruining the friendship....
EVERY
WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...when to try harder... and when to walk away...
EVERY
WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...that she can't change the length of her calves, the width
of her hips, or the nature of her parents...
EVERY
WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...that her childhood may not have been perfect...but its over...
EVERY
WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...what she would and wouldn't do for money or love...
EVERY
WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...how to live alone... even if she doesn't like it...
EVERY
WOMAN SHOULD KNOW..whom she can trust, whom she can't, and why she shouldn't
take it personally...
EVERY
WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...where to go...be it to her best friend's kitchen table...or
a charming inn in the woods...when her soul needs soothing...
EVERY
WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...what she can and can't accomplish in a day...a month...and
a year...
