To me, the model of success is not linear. Success is completing the full circle of yourself.
Gloria SteinemWe've begun to raise daughters more like sons... but few have the courage to raise our sons more like our daughters.

Gloria SteinemI don't remember being thought of as good-looking until I became a feminist. It's more of a comment on people's expectations than of what a feminist would look like. They assumed that if you could get a man, you wouldn't want anything else - what else could you possibly want? So that feminists who were talking about such things as equal pay must be doing so because they were unable to get a husband to support them, and therefore they must be ugl - this was the sort of train of thought. So because I looked different from the stereotype, then people would comment.
