I was raised to be an independent woman, not the victim of anything.

I work toward the liberation of women, but I'm not feminist. I'm just a woman.

I'm an independent woman and a feminist.

I came from this very traditional background and I benefited hugely from feminism. I felt privileged going to university and doing a PhD. Most people of my background don't get to do that.

Don't think of yourself as a woman in business.

Every entrepreneur talks about the passion you have for your work, and I think that's what's missing with a lot of women in business.

More than a victim, I am a survivor of a dehumanization process.

I don't see women and think of them as competition or with judgment. Women really move me. I feel connected to all kinds of women. I am angry because I think we've been mistreated throughout history in different countries, including America. I admire women.

I'm the result of upbringing, class, race, gender, social prejudices, and economics. So I'm a victim again. A result.

I have worked for a lot of really great leaders and mentors that I felt provided me, along with many of my peers - many of them women - opportunities.
