I come here not as a polished politician but as a woman who has had her fair share of life's knocks.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Though I'm a congresswoman by title, a politician I've never been.
It is very creditable when a woman gets into politics. She does this at the expense of responsibilities toward her home and family and should be lauded for this.
I don't think that a woman in politics exists or thrives on her own.
I look forward to the day when there are more women politicians accepted in their own right and not as 'women politicians.'
I don't want to be a politician. I don't like politics. It's petty; it fights dirty.
I've always tried to avoid politics because most politicians that I know are quite dirty in terms of human dignity, ethics and morals.
I rarely meet a politician that I don't like personally. They are generally well endowed with charm. Therein lies the danger.
I was really too honest a man to be a politician and live.
I'm a recovering politician.
I stand here today as the first woman first minister of our country. Every day I hold this office, I will work to ensure that every woman, every wee girl across this country, gets a chance to do what I've done and follow their dream.
