How fortunate I was to be alive and a lawyer when, for the first time in United States history, it became possible to urge, successfully, before legislatures and courts, the equal-citizenship stature of women and men as a fundamental constitutional principle.

Equality is like gravity. We need it to stand on this earth as men and women.

The word 'equality' shows up too much in our founding documents for anyone to pretend it's not the American way.

We live in a world where equality is pretty important.

Equal justice under the law, even if it's your mother. That was a point of admiration in our household. It was drilled into me.

I'm not obsessed with the rights of women; it can be a bit excessive. I want to put men and women on an equal footing. I think we are equal but different.

Achieving gender equality requires the engagement of women and men, girls and boys. It is everyone's responsibility.

I want to work on respecting individuals' dignity. Equal rights, that's where my heart is. That means equal rights and benefits, and that's what we need.

My feminism, as intended by me, extends to empowering women to make legal choices, not to judge the legal choices they make. My fight is for rights.

The only way to ensure equality for women is to clearly declare it in our Constitution.
