As my father would have said, I went through the college of hard knocks.

There still is a war on women in terms of politicians in Washington and the state legislatures trying to eliminate any rights we have fought to win and that the Supreme Court has afforded us.

I'm a civil rights attorney. I'm a victim rights attorney.

I have been the victim of many of the injustices that women who are my clients have had. That is how I understand how this is impacting their lives economically, psychologically, often physically. It's all personal. For me, if one woman is denied her rights, we're all being denied our rights.

Generally, dictatorships do not work in marriage - or, for that matter, in any other relationship.

Both princes and princesses belong in palaces of power, but the doors won't always open unless you fight for your rights.

It's not my fault if the media and the public are more interested in Tiger Woods than in women farm workers.
