It's tragic that you can define a whole movement in music by gender alone. People are like, 'Oh, look, another quirky girl.'

There's still not as many women in music as men, and I don't really know why. I don't have the answers. I do wish there were more women that played music.

In this industry, all the heads of labels are men, but every artist has to prove themselves, regardless of their sex. I have always been very vocal about the women sticking together.

I think, in general, more women need to be involved in music and in the industry - that's been an issue.

Women's music is underrepresented.

I love the women's movement, and I never thought of it as belonging to any particular segment of the population.

The women's movement is taking a different form right now, and it is because it has been so effective and so successful that there's a huge counter movement to try to stop it, to try to divide women from one another, to try to almost foment divisiveness.

Women are a key part of the sound of the groups that accompany male singers like Kirk Franklin, Israel Houghton, and myself.

I was trying to uphold what I thought feminism was as best I could by supporting women, by trying to create an opportunity to get women to get together, play music together and celebrate the fact that we are having great success making music on our own and together.

The women's movement is just a symptom of basic changes in the economy that are favoring women.
