Young women, ALL women, need to feel empowered.

This isn't true simply for young women, although I certainly am not trying to minimize the effect for young women. But it remains true throughout a woman's life. Expectations. Limitations. At any age.

I'm happy to see this addressed so that we, as a society, can do better.
