We live in an era of globalization and the era of the woman. Never in the history of the world have women been more in control of their destiny.

I would like to see a lot of people more involved in practical solutions to practical problems. Women have got to the point where we can turn the world upside down.

Black women all over the world should re-unite and re-examine the way history has portrayed us.

The women I gravitate to are the ones who defy convention and reinvent themselves - hence, they reinvent the world around them.

If this world is going to be a better place for our grandchildren and great-grandchildren, it will be women who make it so.

When I started giving talks about women's history, one of the things that bothered me was the tendency to say, 'Well, everybody was totally oppressed and suddenly in 1964 we rose up, got our freedom, and here we are.' It dismisses the women who fought for rights for several hundred years of our history up to that point.

I believe it's time that women truly owned their superpowers and used their beauty and strength to change the world around them.

The prolonged slavery of women is the darkest page in human history.

We, in the late '60s, '70s and '80s, are acting like we have just discovered freedom and liberation. But I'm sure that many women have worked for that for such a long time.

Gender and race got very entwined in the 19th century, as abolition broke out, and then women wanted the right to speak about it.
