A woman has to be twice as good as a man to go half as far.

I think, being a woman, we got to prove ourselves twice.

Whatever women do, they must do twice as well as men to be thought half as good. Luckily, this is not difficult.

Our culture has created two almost irreconcilable descriptions of a 'good woman.' The first is the individual achiever; the second, the self-sacrificing domestic goddess.

The true worth of a race must be measured by the character of its womanhood.

She belongs to a race of delightful women, who never do any harm, whom everybody calls good, and who are very severe on those who do not pretend to be good.

I was raised to believe that excellence is the best deterrent to racism or sexism. And that's how I operate my life.

If I could be a third of the woman that my mom is and have a third of the strength that she has, then I will have done good by this life.

Simply put, when women do well, everybody does better.
