Excellent! Showing how the lie persists through the generations. I'm Italian, same thing, being hushed when I spoke up. (Didn't stick though.) It made me even more empowered to do something about it. It's been a long road. I don't know how old Stephanie is, what generation, I am assuming quite a bit younger than me, and just how this monster persists. Jessica Defino's Unpublishable caught my eye and heart because I too have written and performed quite a few stories on this very important subject. A minute comedy video on the same subject. https://youtu.be/8Fmhs-oIdg0

Thank you for sharing your story. Laura Flying Bra

Somehow I feel this article is relatable to all women even those of us who grew up in America and speak English. It’s so deeply embedded in our subconscious as women that we manifest it consciously every time we look in the mirror. My husband still to this day hushes me, tells me to be quite it’s so annoying. Thanks for reminding us of what we feel so eloquently.
