Because I’m a woman writing about women who do bad things, that’s somehow very ‘other.’ When men write that, it’s called a novel. It’s just a book.
Listen, ‘real’ women are the reason the fashion industry exists.
I’m a big proponent of young women dressing appropriately in the workplace to get ahead. We need to demand respect as women, and part of that involves how we present ourselves.
Let us leave pretty women to men devoid of imagination.
I create women characters by watching the female staff at my studio. Half the staff are women.
Women are like ovens. We need 5 to 15 minutes to heat up.
Time is the most valuable thing on earth: time to think, time to act, time to extend our fraternal relations, time to become better men, time to become better women, time to become better and more independent citizens.
I like to help women to spend not a lot of money – to feel powerful, elegant, glamorous, to feel good about themselves.
When women fight for a higher salary, they can often feel guilty. When men fight for more pay, they feel empowered. I’ve always wanted to encourage women to go after the money they deserve.
All women are forces of nature, and I believe in their power.

When I was 11, I saw this ad for dish soap powder that said, ‘Women all over America are fighting greasy pots and pans.’ I was so angry. I couldn’t understand why it didn’t say men as well.
I did my dissertation on the idea of femininity and women’s writing, so I spent eight months reading about how women are portrayed in the media in terms of images and tone of voice and what words are used.
Children, I grant, should be innocent; but when the epithet is applied to men, or women, it is but a civil term for weakness.

I asked a Burmese why women, after centuries of following their men, now walk ahead. He said there were many unexploded land mines since the war.
Many women have many sides to their personality.
I like women who look like women. I hated grunge. No one’s more feminist than me, but you don’t have to look as if you don’t give a – you know. You can be smart, bright, and attractive aesthetically to others – and to yourself.
This is an important book, the critic assumes, because it deals with war. This is an insignificant book because it deals with the feelings of women in a drawing-room.
The Golden Girls certainly proved that there was a large audience for a show about older women.
