I've always felt heroic about my life... As a child, I remember little girls in the playground moaning about how boys could do more than they could. I didn't think that was the case at all. My parents didn't treat me as a girl.

Women fight for democracy and engage in the world. But they shouldn't try and be copying men and be masculine they should anchor on the home and build on those fundamentals.
