The full implications of feminism will evolve over time, as we organize, experiment, think, analyze, and revise our ideas and strategies in light of our experiences. No theory emerges in full detail overnight; the dominant theories of our day have expanded and changed over many decades. That it will take time should not discourage us. That we might fail to pursue our ideas - given the enormous need for them in society today - is unconscionable.

If you think that you are where you are just because you worked hard, it is easy to become self-righteous and make classist moral judgments about others.

There is no issue that is not a women's issue.

There is no private domain of a person's life that is not political, and there is no political issue that is not ultimately personal.

Women have a lot to say about how to advance women's rights, and governments need to learn from that, listen to the movement and respond.

Feminism is an entire world view or gestalt, not just a laundry list of women's issues.

As a human rights issue, the effort to end violence against women becomes a government's obligation, not just a good idea.
