What does it mean to “know how” to do something? Why isn’t the action of doing something evidence that you know how to do it? Why do people, especially women, convince themselves that they don’t know how to do things they already do? Why is it perceived that there is only one correct way to do something and that you probably need to take lessons or read a manual in order to learn it? (Is that enough questions for ya?)

Knowledge really is power. Convincing yourself or allowing yourself to be convinced that you don’t or can’t know things is dis-empowering(…)

Empowerment is just a new way to define power—not as domination, but as “the ability to transform oneself, others, and the world,” writes Allen. It means that if you have confidence, skills or knowledge, you don’t lord it over other people or use it to bolster your own ego, you share it. The secret surprise is that you also get it back. It’s about seeing power as a nurturing force in the world.
