All the men on my staff can type.

I am not elevating women to sainthood, nor am I suggesting that all women share the same views, or that all women are good and all men bad.

I've been described as a tough and noisy woman, a prize fighter, a man-hater, you name it. They call me Battling Bella, Mother Courage, and a Jewish mother with more complaints than Portnoy.

But whatever I am -- and this ought to be made very clear -- I am a very serious woman.
