I live in a war zone. I would never have imagined 37 years ago when I started practicing law that there would still be so much discrimination against women, so much denial of women's rights.

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 have known some wonderful men.

I have represented people in book deals.

When you're fighting for civil rights, it's sometimes two steps forward and one step back. Civil rights are an evolution; and you have to bring people along.

There are endless new variations on how to hurt a woman physically, emotionally, financially, and socially.

It is very frightening to feel alone when you are standing against a rich and powerful person and all his attendant helpers.
