Ironically, women who acquire power are more likely to be criticized for it than are the men who have always had it.

To recommend that women become identical to men, would be simple reversal, and would defeat the whole point of androgyny, and for that matter, feminism: in both, the whole point is choice.

Unfortunately, power is something that women abjure once they perceive the great difference between the lives possible to men and to women...

Odd, the years it took to learn one simple fact: that the prize just ahead, the next job, publication, love affair, marriage always seemed to hold the key to satisfaction but never, in the longer run, sufficed.

You can flush my ashes down the toilet, for all I care.

Quoting, like smoking, is a dirty habit to which I am devoted.
