There appears to be a disturbing trend in this nation to try to force single moms to choose between their children and their careers. If they take their careers seriously, they are labeled as bad mothers. If they spend time with their children, they are labeled as people who can't be serious about careers outside the home. This is a sexist double standard. No such guilt trip is imposed on men, who are generally not forced to choose between their children and their jobs.

I'm entitled to collect my fair share of community property without being called names.

I cannot take every case that people ask me to take.

I have known some wonderful men.

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

Eventually I figured out there was something systematic in the way women are treated.

Because of my life experiences, I understand that I have an opportunity to help other women. I have the desire and the ability.
