The test for whether or not you can hold a job should not be the arrangement of your chromosomes.

I always had a decent sense of outrage.

Women will not simply be mainstreamed into the polluted stream. Women are changing the stream, making it clean and green and safe for all - every gender, race, creed, sexual orientation, age, and ability.

the women's movement, not only here in the U.S., but worldwide, is bigger and stronger than ever before and in places where it has never been. It has arms. It has legs. And most importantly, it has heads.

The test for whether or not you can hold a job should not be the arrangement of your chromosomes.

In the face of so much pain, I remain an incurable optimist. I am fueled by the passion of the women I have been privileged to meet and work with, buoyed by their hope for peace, justice, and democracy.

Women have been trained to speak softly and carry a lipstick. Those days are over.
