I'm a very strong believer in listening and learning from others.

Fight for the things that you care about, but do it in a way that will lead others to join you.

I really concentrate on what's on my plate at the moment and do the very best I can.

In the '50s, too many women, even though they were very smart, they tried to make the man feel that he was brainier. It was a sad thing.

She never envisioned a legal career for me, but she did think it was very important that I be able to support myself, and I think she would be pleased to see what has become of me.

The women of my generation and my daughter's generation, they were very active in moving along the social change that would result in equal citizenship stature for men and women.
