In the last 25 years, we've convinced ourselves and a majority of the country that women can do what men can do. Now we have to convince the majority of the country - and ourselves - that men can do what women can do. ... Let's face it: until men are fully equal inside the home, women will never be really equal outside it.

To me, the model of success is not linear. Success is completing the full circle of yourself.

Unequal access to money and media plus bias, external and internalized, and male-dominant religions and illegality at the polls - all those are reasons for women's wildly unequal political power.

Some of us are becoming the men we wanted to marry.

Don't worry about your background, whether it's odd or ordinary, use it, build on it.

... the art of politics is to be ahead of your time--about six months will do it. Any more than that, and people forget you were there.

It's not that women are less corruptible than men are, it's that women have had less chance to become corrupt.
