I think printed fiction is what women read.
Thinking about women who can't have their own baby, even the first baby, I'm really lucky.
The first time Adam had a chance, he laid the blame on women.
When you take away healthcare from women, you're keeping women out of the workforce because you're eliminating their choice of when to start a family.
I applaud Women in Film - not only for celebrating the successes of women, but for providing a safety network to mentor women and to discuss the particular issues that arise in a very male-dominated industry.
I used to think that guys preferred tall women. But plenty of them like short girls.
I love women, and I just think that they're great. I mean, yes, they can be a little nutty sometimes, but they're great.
The Bible and the Church have been the greatest stumbling blocks in the way of women's emancipation.
If you look at most women's writing, women writers will describe women differently from the way male writers describe women. The details that go into a woman writer's description of a female character are, perhaps, a little more judgmental. They're looking for certain things, because they know what women do to look a certain way.
If women are supposed to be less rational and more emotional at the beginning of our menstrual cycle when the female hormone is at its lowest level, then why isn't it logical to say that, in those few days, women behave the most like the way men behave all month long?
I've been used by women all my life, fortunately.
I'm getting a wider circle of fans now. More women, more middle class people.
I'm not only passionate about dressing women and helping them feel and look their best, but also about helping to give a stronger voice to women and children in need around the world.
The truth is, I can't help the way people perceive anything, from the role of financial industry in the economic crisis, to the place of women's fiction in the canon of modern literature, to the rank of mint chocolate chip ice cream as a favorite Baskin-Robbins flavor.
There's more pressure on women to be chirpy and perky.
I think, for me, there's The Book I Should Write and The Book I Wanted to Write - and they weren't the same book. The Book I Should Write should be realistic, since I studied English Lit. It should be cultural. It should reflect where I am today. The Book I Wanted to Write would probably include flying women, magic, and all of that.
Women are one of the Almighty's enigmas to prove to men that He knows more than they do.
The Young Women's Christian Association is nourished by its roots in Christianity and, at the same time, over the years, it's been enriched by beliefs and values from all kinds of places, even, in fact, strengthened by our diversity.
If I had to give a definition of capitalism I would say: the process whereby American girls turn into American women.
Generally speaking, men are held in great esteem in all parts of the world, so why shouldn't women have their share? Soldiers and war heroes are honored and commemorated, explorers are granted immortal fame, martyrs are revered, but how many people look upon women too as soldiers?
I think the pageant system is about empowering women. I think that aspect of it is great, but when you take parents who are forcing their children to do anything, I don't think it's healthy.
One of my most rewarding congressional duties is nominating future military leaders to study at America's service academies. The exceptional young men and women who receive these coveted nominations earn a top-of-the-line education and the opportunity to serve their country as a military officer.
For many women, the on-time payments of domestic support obligations are essential to economic survival.
I want to reach young women and to get them involved in the mission of the YWCA, economic empowerment of women and girls, and ending racism.
Women want mediocre men, and men are working to be as mediocre as possible.
Sometimes I think women are lucky because they can develop in ways men can't. The old-boy network may be oppressive to women, but it actually stunts men in terms of personal growth.
Behind all their personal vanity, women themselves always have an impersonal contempt for woman.
Especially in this industry, women challenge men much more now because we're saying, 'We can do it, too.'
That's the awesome part. Little girls now have a chance to look up and see women playing soccer, basketball, softball and now hockey - and know they can win a gold medal, too.
I would go to radio stations and they were supposed to be interviewing me and playing my record and they would say, We're playing too many women right now, we can't play your record.
I think human beings have a really broad spectrum of traits, and I almost feel implicated when we say, 'Men are like this, women are like this.' Nobody was telling me, 'Don't get dirty, don't play in the mud, girls don't do that.'
Market research shows that older women like seeing older women in ads, and that younger women do, too - because they see them and are not frightened of growing older.
We have a sacred obligation to support our men and women in uniform.
I was part of the first generation of girls and women to be educated and go to grammar school even if we didn't have much money. Then that generation went, 'OK, great', and went into medicine or the police, and hit this wall of discrimination from older men who hadn't caught up.
There's a whole generation of women who never really heard the word investment before, when it came to fashion. They've been buying things because they were cheap.
I'm 60, and I did 60-year-old women songs. I'm not trying to be the Hip-Hop Queen, although I am the original Hip Hop Queen.
