As women, we need to stand together. We are judged and objectified often enough by men.

No tendency is quite so strong in human nature as the desire to lay down rules of conduct for other people.

There are those who maintain that in this world women have no right to interfere in the affairs of state, in politics, in plots and counter-plots. Others that are who, more chivalrous, are willing to admit that women have as much right to act, think, and speak as men.

I'm suspicious of any man or woman who approaches their own liberation with any kind of gender bias.

As societies continue to loosen their standards regarding what is appropriate female and male behavior, I think we are going to realize we have not only underestimated women, but also men.

I have always supported measures and principles and not men.

Those looking for ideology in the White House should consider this: For the men who rule our world, rules are for other people.

I'm a pragmatist. I think, as a woman, you have to be more careful. You have to be more communal, you have to say yes to more things than men, you have to worry about things that men don't have to worry about. But once we get enough women into leadership, we can break stereotypes down. If you lead, you get to decide.

I grew up in a time when many people believed that men and women should not always be treated equally.

As a woman, my style defines my leadership. It's a gentler, more compassionate approach. I consult, I listen and I compromise where it's in the best interest of the citizens.
