Our world loses out when the leadership doesn't reflect the led - when a minority makes decisions for the majority.

Women have to do all of the catching up. So we are disengaged and overburdened. Sounds like it is time we ditch the complacent fluoride-in-the-tap-water feminism and get reenergized and reinspired.

The truth is that our democracy is a work in progress. We are all its founders. We are all learning that we are linked and not ranked.

[T]he presence of feminism in our lives is taken for granted. For our generation, feminism is like fluoride. We scarcely notice we have it - it's simply in the water.

Thoughtful, energetic, smart, determined. I tried to own and further those qualities and often mustered them up when they were dormant and something wasn't going my way.

We are linked and not ranked. Ever butty is equal, everyone is the same.

Empowering women isn't for women, but for the world.
