I spend all day figuring out how to beat the machine and knock the crap out of the political power structure.

Women have been trained to speak softly and carry a lipstick.Those days are over.

When I first became a lawyer, only 2% of the bar was women. People would always think I was a secretary. In those days, professional women in the business world wore hats. So I started wearing hats.

I began wearing hats as a young lawyer because it helped me to establish my professional identity. Before that, whenever I was at a meeting, someone would ask me to get coffee.

I prefer the word 'homemaker' because 'housewife' always implies that there may be a wife someplace else.

Women will change the nature of power, rather than power changing the nature of women.
