Women are at once the guardians and the well-spring of the world's faith, morality, and tenderness; and if ever they are degraded to a commonplace level with men, this fine essential quality will be impaired, and their weakness will have to beg and follow where now it guides and controls.

I see a lot of women around me who seem to stop developing as individuals after marriage and children. I don't know what kinds of pressure they're under, but I think it robs the world of 'the older version of Judy or Wendy,' or whomever. It robs the world of the next iteration of them, and I don't think that's right.

Women are trying to have it all but are trying to regain control over their time. That's why many women are busting out of the traditional workforce and starting their own businesses.

In their 20s, women try to be somebody they're not and try to turn themselves into something different. Now I'm in my 30s; I'm very happy with who I am.

From 1970 onwards, our culture told both sexes that individual expression was paramount. And for women, that was defined as the right to choose an interesting a career, a high-status mate, the desirable handbag or vacation, the perfect family size, and a definitionally fruitless quest for 'perfection.'

It's hard to tell how far women's individuality has come in the past twenty years.

There is a phenomenal amount of pressure on women in this industry: they are considered vintage by the time they hit their mid-30s.

The problem for all women is we're identified by how we look instead of by our heads and our hearts.

There are a whole bunch of structural and systemic factors we need to address in order to move away from the model in which women really are still dependent on men.

I believe it's time that women truly owned their superpowers and used their beauty and strength to change the world around them.
