The word is a label and I don't like it at all.

We have to raise our young boys to respect women and our young girls to demand respect and to get their values from something other than their physicality.

I don't have the advocates. I don't have a good old boys network. Part of what I want to do is to create a good old girls network.

[Fighting for equality for women] that's what my mission has been for the last years.

We [in Think Broader.] went through and looked at coverage in different industries and were able to point out to newsrooms that they had these hidden biases. We'd do a review and provide a report card, and provide our suggestion on how to avoid bias.

A lot of women were betting on me because there were so few role models and I let them down. They had put me on a pedestal. I maybe enjoyed being in that limelight, but I couldn't reverse what I had done.

I was encouraged, though, because I saw feminist writers - male and female - calling out the bias. I feel like more and more writers are cognizant of the problems and are willing to try to challenge them.
