It really felt like a tidal wave of bias washed over our country and we're still soaked in it.

More quotes by Paula Broadwell
We have to raise our young boys to respect women and our young girls to demand respect and to get their values from something other than their physicality.
Paula Broadwell
I was encouraged, though, because I saw feminist writers - male and female - calling out the bias. I feel like more and more writers are cognizant of the problems and are willing to try to challenge them.
Paula Broadwell
You can reclaim your own narrative.
Paula Broadwell
[Fighting for equality for women] that's what my mission has been for the last years.
Paula Broadwell
As a feminist, I'll wear whatever I want to.
Paula Broadwell
I had been sort of a rising star - an athlete, a scholar, a leader. My dream was to become a high-level national security adviser.
Paula Broadwell
I also feel like I've done plenty of wrong things. I'm not innocent here, and I'm certainly not going to be righteous about that.
Paula Broadwell
I want to serve. I love my country. I love service above self and I don't want my talents to go to waste. I also want to send a message to other men and women who've tripped over themselves, or over life: that you need to serve your time in purgatory.
Paula Broadwell
My peers are all in sensitive jobs - at the C.I.A., the National Security Council, working for the Department of Defense. They can't stand up for me in public.
Paula Broadwell
Imagine what Ivanka Trump life has been like? She's been eaten alive by the media. I have empathy for that.
Paula Broadwell
Having a bunch of medals and badges doesn’t necessarily mean you’ve achieved anything, you’ve got to do something beyond yourself to make a difference in life. Seek to be consequential in whatever you do.
Paula Broadwell
When I fell, some people were in such shock that they didn't reach out. They were so mad at me, rather than having compassion for what happened. I lost a lot of friends.
Paula Broadwell
I just genuinely believe in the concept of redemption and renewal, so I was happy. When I get beyond my feelings, I had my own family and friends and so many women across America come to me and say their blood was boiling, asking me how this could happen.
Paula Broadwell
Hopefully women can work with [Ivanka Trump ] to influence up the chain of command. I think it's good for us, for women. It's a glimmer of hope.
Paula Broadwell
It's part of the reason I decided to speak out now. This was the tipping point for me. If it's O.K. for [David Petraeus ] to campaign for a job in the administration, then I'm going to campaign to get back out there, too.
Paula Broadwell
We had to communicate through our lawyers a couple of times over the years, and [David Petraeus] told me that people have been like, Good job, Dave. Congratulating him. That's the double standard. I've concluded that sharing it won't change anything.
Paula Broadwell
The national media don't know me. They know the caricature that was created of me by journalists who were frankly jealous of my access. And it was a very negative caricature. There's this propensity for blaming a woman. It comes down to implicit bias. There are so many studies that show this.
Paula Broadwell
I was an academic and I lost my assignment at Harvard. Meanwhile, [David Petraeus] gets invited to Harvard to become a fellow.
Paula Broadwell
The story is framed around [avid Petraeus] resignation. So many headlines that followed talked about his ruined career. They completely ignore the fact that my career was ruined, other peoples' careers were ruined. They focus on him as the victim.
Paula Broadwell
I'm not in love with David Petraeus. But I think he does present a terrific role model.
Paula Broadwell
