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.

There's a power in women being women. There's a role for men, but we don't have to be men, because we're women. I think that representing that on television is a cool thing.

When women are in positions of power it's a hard place to be, especially when that position involves bossing men around.

The whole world is starting to realize that it was the most unwise thing for our society to have ignored women power, to run the society with male priorities.

With more women in power, the world would be better off.

Feminism isn't simply about being a woman in a position of power. It's battling systemic inequities; it's a social justice movement that believes sexism, racism and classism exist and interconnect, and that they should be consistently challenged.

Ironically, women who acquire power are more likely to be criticized for it than are the men who have always had it.

I hate to say there are female and male ways of dealing with power, because I think each of us has a male and a female part. But based on my own experience, women will tend to be inclusive, to reach out more, to care a little more.

I think, certainly in the more civilized societies, women's roles are growing in power all of the time.

Women with money and women in power are two uncomfortable ideas in our society.
