The new fasts, for example, have been called by many churchmen, both Catholic and Protestant, for Wednesdays, a traditional Christian fast day once associated with Judas' plot to betray Christ. The goal is not usually a complete fast but a general cutback in the amount of food eaten.

Harvard gave us no clue on this point, no hint as to how other women had solved the dilemma, for we never saw successful women, never saw women at all. There was no guidance, no role-models...
