Nothing will happen automatically. Change depends on what you and I do every day.

The first problem for all of us, men and women, is not to learn, but to unlearn.

More women are becoming the men they wanted to marry, but too few men are becoming the women they wanted to marry. That leaves most women with two jobs, one outside the home and one in it.

No man can call himself liberal, or radical, or even a conservative advocate of fair play, if his work depends in any way on the unpaid or underpaid labor of women at home, or in the office.

For girls and women, storytelling has a double and triple importance.
