answers needs action
We do not need, and indeed never will have, all the answers before we act ... It is often through taking action that we can discover some of them.
leader vision needs
We need women leaders. But we need them to have a vision for something.
reality house needs
What is being called the UN 'gender architecture' is more like a shack. Women need a bigger global house if equality is ever to become a reality.
issues political politics
There is no private domain of a person's life that is not political, and there is no political issue that is not ultimately personal.
mean practice issues
The beginning point at both conferences must be that everything is a woman's issue. That means racism in a woman's issue, just as is anti-Semitism, Palestinian homelessness, rural development, ecology, the persecution of lesbians, and the exploitative practices of global corporations.
government ideas issues
As a human rights issue, the effort to end violence against women becomes a government's obligation, not just a good idea.
thinking ideas light
The full implications of feminism will evolve over time, as we organize, experiment, think, analyze, and revise our ideas and strategies in light of our experiences. No theory emerges in full detail overnight; the dominant theories of our day have expanded and changed over many decades. That it will take time should not discourage us. That we might fail to pursue our ideas - given the enormous need for them in society today - is unconscionable.
issues
There is no issue that is not a women's issue.
years leader style
Whether there are innately female leadership styles... is not really the right question. It is more important to ask why there has been so little attention paid to women leaders over the years as well as why the styles of leading more often exhibited by women are particularly useful at this critical moment in history.
america promise unfaithful
America is like an unfaithful love who promises us more than we got.
military men justice
We know that priorities are amiss in the world when a man gets a military medal of honor for killing another man and a dishonorable discharge for loving one.
dream risk world
The state of the world today demands that women become less modest and dream/plan/act/risk on a larger scale.
views issues feminism
Feminism is an entire world view or gestalt, not just a laundry list of women's issues.
skills ideas imagination
Leadership is people taking the initiative, carrying things through, having ideas and the imagination to get something started, and exhibiting particular skills in different areas.
