I think we're socialized out of being women, and then we have to find our way back to it. That's hard to do.

I think nowadays, women are breaking the borders or the boundaries and also trying to give a new interpretation in terms of impact you can have to the society.

It's hard to tell how far women's individuality has come in the past twenty years.

I think society is both something that's very real and very powerful, but on the whole quite problematic.

Women, nowhere in the world, have the kind of important position in society in the amount that they ought to have.

Everything's harder for women: harder to start, to stay employed, to run a life with a family.

I think one of the reasons I've done so much period work is because I feel so depressed by how society chooses to represent women in contemporary work.

I don't know if I have any particular views about women in positions of power, though I do think it's more difficult for women, particularly in a Medieval setting. They have the additional problem that they're a woman and people don't want them in a position of power in an essentially patriarchal society.

All generations of teens have it hard, I think. Each society and century has its struggles that the others can't compare to.
