Percaya dirilah!
Saya perlu konteks yang lebih jelas, latar belakang mengapa ia mengucapkan kata-kata itu.
Tapi, berdasar kata "emphatically", mungkin, pria tersebut menyarankan agar si wanita "bisa menegakkan kepala" (to head high, face the world), tidak tertunduk seperti tidak punya leher ("neck").
Terus terang, ini asumsi saya berdasar keterangan singkat Anda. Sekali lagi, latar belakang sangat perlu. Namun, si tokoh wanita sendiri tidak tahu apa yang dimaksud..?!
