When I first came to the House of Commons and walked out into the lobby, men sprang to their feet. I asked them to sit down since I'd come to walk around. I didn't want them doing me favours.

Whatever is dirty, it is women's job to clean up, or drive some man to clean up, and that goes for everything from cellar to senate.

The way to get things out of a government is to back them to the wall, put your hands to their throats, and you will get all they have.

I believe the preservation of the home in the future lies almost entirely in the hands of men.
