I love newspapers. I've worked on newspapers, all my life. I've always loved it.

Who knows what women can be when they are finally free to become themselves?

If I were a man, I would strenuously object to the assumption that women have any moral or spiritual superiority as a class.

I would have much rather been in the jalopy with the kids, going to Hunt's for hamburgers. But, when I entered high school, all my friends got into sororities and fraternities and I didn't.

It was the era that I later analyzed, the "feminine mystique" era, [when] "career woman" was a dirty word. And so I didn't want a career anymore. [But] I had to do something. So I started freelancing for women's magazines.

When she stopped conforming to the conventional picture of femininity she finally began to enjoy being a woman.

Each woman is made to feel it is her own cross to bear if she can't be the perfect clone of the male superman and the perfect clone of the feminine mystique.
