The truth is that our democracy is a work in progress. We are all its founders. We are all learning that we are linked and not ranked.

Empowering women isn't for women, but for the world.

The goal of equality seems to disproportionately burden women, since it's assumed that they have to assume more responsibility, while men can remain the status quo.

[T]he presence of feminism in our lives is taken for granted. For our generation, feminism is like fluoride. We scarcely notice we have it - it's simply in the water.

If the nature of human experience changes with the color of a man's skin, then the racists have been right all along.

Never be afraid to stop traffic.

When you have a big problem to solve, break it down to smaller ones first.
