I think the main goal of the feminist movement was the status degradation of the full-time homemaker. They really wanted to get all women out of the homes and into the workforce. And again and again, they taught that the only fulfilling lifestyle was to be in the workforce reporting to a boss instead of being in the home reporting to a husband.

I've never been drawn to the feminist movement. I was brought up to believe that men had little to do with the home or children - except to bring in the money.

Whatever feminists may say about their only advocating choices, everyone knows the truth: Feminism regards work outside the home as more elevating, honorable, and personally productive than full-time mothering and making a home.

I wasn't an active feminist in the '60s, never have been.

I've always been interested in the history of radical feminism - what happened to those women of the 1960s and '70s.

Perhaps there is no greater issue facing contemporary women than the choices they must make about balancing home and work.

I am a feminist, although I always worry saying that because you then get people asking you about the 1970s.

The point of the feminist movement wasn't simply to set our underwear on fire and muscle into small spaces in the male-dominated workplace, but to create a world where the contribution of both sexes was equally valued and no one's worth was judged on their take-home salary.

I had a terrible time with feminists in the Seventies. They hated me, those women. I think they hated everything.

I'm not at all an active feminist. On the contrary, I'm a bourgeois. I love family life, I love doing the same thing every day.
