When you look closely at the young woman on the back cover of this book, you will see how sure she is of herself in the presence of her suitor. Notice how attentive he is to her. It is she who is in charge of the situation. It is she who holds the fate of the young man in her hands.
The painting, entitled The Proposal by Lawrence Alma-Tadema was painted nearly one hundred years ago.
Now, imagine her being transported into the present day. Chances are that she would not be likely to call or text boys repeatedly on her cell phone. And she would not be likely to wear clothing that was meant for boys. She would never do a boy’s bidding in the name of being popular, or because she was afraid that he wouldn’t want to see her again, if she didn’t do what he asked her to do.
