Fear never moved mountains.

Bella: It was the first Supreme Court petition I'd ever written, it was my first trip to the south, it was the first time I got a death threat. They said Willie McGee's white woman lawyer should be executed along with him in the electric chair. I slept disguised above a brothel, because vigilantes stalked the hotels. The whole time I was scared shitless. I lost the baby. Stress, the doctor said. They got to me. I left Mississippi before the case was over. I had so much still to do. There is so much still to do.
Gloria: Fear never moved mountains.

Mrs. America Season 1 Episode 7 Quotes

Bella: So now we're not gonna have people we disagree with participate?
Gloria: Not if we want Houston to be inclusive.
Bella: You want to be inclusive by excluding? Would you listen to yourself?

I want you to imagine a group of Native Alaskan women getting on a bus in Fairbanks. Appalachian women getting on a bus in Beattyville. Homemakers getting on a bus in Toledo. They're all travelling to represent their state. All of them yearning to have a voice in government. To vote on issues that affect their lives.
