Wednesday Recap Today, students will write a complete response to the following statement: “The most powerful weapon a woman has over a man is her womanness, her femininity, her coquetry. With it, a woman has more power than any man; without it she has nothing.”  Students should brainstorm a bulleted list of instances in which this statement could be true and when this statement could be false.
