There's no one on this earth taken less seriously in a leadership context than a young woman - everything is against you.

It's easier to write about Socrates than about a young woman or a cook.

As a young woman in politics, with few women around, you start to subconsciously behave like men in politics. That comes across as quite hard, tough and humorless, but you're trying to be taken seriously.

A young woman has young claws, well sharpened. If she has character, that is. And if she hasn't so much the worse for you.

It's a razor's edge, a romance with an old man and a young woman.

No time to marry, no time to settle down; I'm a young woman, and I ain't done runnin' around.
