Alice: I like not having to ask him for PIN money. It's empowering.

Betty: The tide is turning against us in Washington.
Gloria: Our movement didn't start in Washington; it's not going to be stopped by it.
I have stood alongside the greatest women of our generation. Still, today, we select our leaders first by eliminating women and minorities and those with too little education. Changing this will take a very long time. After all, we are dealing with ten thousand years of patriarchy and racism. But we must continue to move forward in waves. What will keep us going is the revelation of what we can be. What the people around us can be, without the crippling walls and prisons into which we have been forced. We are just beginning to discover each of us, who we can be. And no matter how long this revolution may take, there can be no turning back.
Gloria
