Secretary of state is far superior to vice president, because it’s involved in continuously solving problems and making policy and not being on standby Picture Quote #1

Whatever each individual woman is facing - only she knows her biggest challenge Picture Quote #1

It’s the biggest economic influence in a woman’s life whether she can decide when and whether to have children or not Picture Quote #1

Part of the reason that women go to college is to get out of the food service, clerical, pink-collar ghetto and into a more white-collar job. That does not necessarily mean they are being paid more than the blue-collar jobs men have Picture Quote #1

If you ask men about their body image, they will tell you they look better than they do. And if you ask a woman, she’ll tell you she looks worse Picture Quote #1

What I’ve learned is that unless it’s an emergency, like a fire or brain surgery, hierarchy is not necessary and may be damaging. If you have a hierarchy, you’re repeating the strengths and weaknesses of one person without allowing for the accumulative strength of a group Picture Quote #1

Women tend to need the healthcare system more because we bear children. Insurance companies - not all of them, but many of them - ‘gender-rate.’ Women may pay 40% more for their health insurance than men do Picture Quote #1

As long as working women also have to do the work of child and family care at home, they will have two jobs instead of one. Perhaps more important, children will grow up thinking that only women can be loving and nurturing, and men cannot Picture Quote #1

The caste systems of sex and race are interdependent and can only be uprooted together Picture Quote #1

Every revolution begins as consciousness because some group of people has to imagine change Picture Quote #1

The electoral system is not where change starts - it usually starts in communities and from the bottom up - but it is where change can be stopped Picture Quote #1

I remember someone once asked Jack Kennedy why he was paying such close attention to the renovation of the square across from the White House, and he said, ‘It may be the only thing my presidency is remembered for.’ Picture Quote #1
