A key battle she fights, early on, is over the absurd skimpiness of her costume..
Add to this the current culture of busyness and the result is that millions feel compelled to deny themselves rest and leisure, sanity and evenings with loved ones, all because the fear of being seen as uncooperative has become so paralysing, that saying No can feel like failure..
