I really don't like women who try to be men. All these politicians, I think they're horrendous. We could have a brilliant future, but we have this terrible male vision of destroying everything. They'd better sort themselves out and become more womanly.

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

I look forward to the day when there are more women politicians accepted in their own right and not as 'women politicians.'

At present, our country needs women's idealism and determination, perhaps more in politics than anywhere else.

Women politicians take their job seriously and accomplish their duties diligently and sensitively. Only they can understand the problems of women and act as a sounding board for their concerns.

But I do not believe that the world would be entirely different if there were more women leaders. Maybe if everybody in leadership was a woman, you might not get into the conflicts in the first place. But if you watch the women who have made it to the top, they haven't exactly been non-aggressive - including me.

We are bringing women into politics to change the nature of politics, to change the vision, to change the institutions. Women are not wedded to the policies of the past. We didn't craft them. They didn't let us.

I want more women to run countries. There'd be more peace on Earth.

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