There are some people who still feel threatened by strong women. That's their problem. It's not mine.
The more I know about men the more I like dogs.
Do not let adversity break you. Think of it as a learning experience that will make you stronger.
I have been the victim of many of the injustices that women who are my clients have had. That is how I understand how this is impacting their lives economically, psychologically, often physically. It's all personal. For me, if one woman is denied her rights, we're all being denied our rights.
There is no change without sacrifice.
When you're fighting for civil rights, it's sometimes two steps forward and one step back. Civil rights are an evolution; and you have to bring people along.
Fighting injustice keeps you young.
Because of my life experiences, I understand that I have an opportunity to help other women. I have the desire and the ability.
Women will no longer be silent when they suffer injustices against them.
Why is it immoral to be paid for an act that is perfectly legal if done for free?
There are endless new variations on how to hurt a woman physically, emotionally, financially, and socially.
I live in a war zone. I would never have imagined 37 years ago when I started practicing law that there would still be so much discrimination against women, so much denial of women's rights.
Male privilege and entitlement are dying a very painful death; no one gives up power without a struggle.
People who are pierced should not be snickered at, should not become the object of ridicule, should not be singled out for special and uneven and unequal treatment. They should be respected just like everybody else.
Both princes and princesses belong in palaces of power, but the doors won't always open unless you fight for your rights.
Minorities have never been given their rights. They have always had to wage a political and legal battle to win them.
There are enough high hurdles to climb, as one travels through life, without having to scale artificial barriers created by law or silly regulations.
There still is a war on women in terms of politicians in Washington and the state legislatures trying to eliminate any rights we have fought to win and that the Supreme Court has afforded us.
There appears to be a disturbing trend in this nation to try to force single moms to choose between their children and their careers. If they take their careers seriously, they are labeled as bad mothers. If they spend time with their children, they are labeled as people who can't be serious about careers outside the home. This is a sexist double standard. No such guilt trip is imposed on men, who are generally not forced to choose between their children and their jobs.
I do believe that, under the law, under the Constitution of the United States, and under our public policy, that women deserve and should have a right to enjoy equal employment opportunity.
It is very frightening to feel alone when you are standing against a rich and powerful person and all his attendant helpers.
I'm entitled to collect my fair share of community property without being called names.
I was a single mother when my child was little.
I'm a civil rights attorney. I'm a victim rights attorney.
I think there should be better child support laws to make it easier for those single moms to support their children so they don't have to go on welfare.
