Are you self-conscious about going to a party alone? Are you sitting in the same job for years, doing excellent work, but receiving only limited raises and no promotions? Are you unable to ask for a better table in a restaurant when you've been placed next to the kitchen? Are you allowing your husband, lover, or child to take advantage of you? Learn how to express your opinions and wishes, and stand up for your rights with these revolutionary new techniques of assertiveness training. - and - THE OLD WAY - Dependency Training: "A woman should know her place" "Don't talk too much about yourself--be interested in his hobbies." "Don't let him know how smart you are." "You catch more flies with honey than with vinegar." "A woman should be passive." "A woman should be compliant." THE NEW WAY - Assertiveness Training: "Assertive women give the feeling they're more confident of their femininity and sexuality." "With an assertive woman, you don't have to play games--you're two adults." "An assertive woman knows that femininity is not passivity." "Men don't want relationships with frail baby dolls--they want the excitement of a fully-grown woman." Learn how to get where and what you want in bed, at work, on the social scene, and at home.
