Never go back, never apologize, and never forget we're half the human race.

When I was a young lawyer, working women wore hats. It was the only way they would take you seriously.

Maybe we weren't at the Last Supper, but we're certainly going to be at the next one.

Congress is a middle-aged, middle-class, white male power structure ... no wonder it's been so totally unresponsive to the needs of this country.

I began wearing hats as a young lawyer because it helped me to establish my professional identity. Before that, whenever I was at a meeting, someone would ask me to get coffee.

This woman's place is in the House - the House of Representatives.

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