5 Ways to Be a Modern Woman

1. Split the check. It’s great to be treated to a meal, but old-fashioned to expect it.
2. Use “she” as the generic form of third person singular, at least as often as you use “he.”
3. Wear flats. They look especially good with Capri pants (see illustration).
4. Create a strong financial foundation that may or may not include a mate.
5. Be strong, but not afraid to ask for help.
