Women's issues have always been a part of my life.

And frankly, being a woman I think gives me a slightly different take on a lot of the issues and on a lot of the solutions to the problems we face.

I'm working for the women in the world, today; that's my essential issue.

Throughout my career I have been an advocate for women, in all aspects of their lives.

Women's issues have always been a part of my life. My goal is to bring the word 'feminism' back into the zeitgeist and reframe it.

I have two children who are daughters, so female issues have always registered high on my scale of awareness.

I am much more open about categories of gender, and my feminism has been about women's safety from violence, increased literacy, decreased poverty and more equality.

The issue of gender was never my biggest concern; my biggest concern was doing good work. When the feminist movement really got going, I wasn't an active part of it because I was more concerned with my own mental pursuits.

I have long ties to the women's community.
