I grew up in a family where the women were just nuts. They didn't stand around in cardigans making polite conversation while they chopped tomatoes.

I have yet to see a drama that puts forward women who are successful and also have a family... they are nearly always seen as victims.

Soon we saw that money going to women brought much more benefit to the family than money going to the men. So we changed our policy and gave a high priority to women. As a result now 96% of our four million borrowers in Grameen Bank are women.

Studies have shown that since women have had access to the pill and family planning measures they have made huge gains in both wages and in careers that were dominated by men.

Except for naval and air exercises our military should be stationed on American soil where service men and women can lead normal lives in close proximity to family and friends.

Too often older women are seen as victims but I know lots of formidable women who have marvellous jobs as well as a full erotic life and children and friends and family.

The lover of life makes the whole world into his family just as the lover of the fair sex creates his from all the lovely women he has found from those that could be found and those who are impossible to find.

Women are in my view natural peacemakers. As givers and nurturers of life through their focus on human relationships and their engagement with the demanding work of raising children and protecting family life they develop a deep sense of empathy that cuts through to underlying human realities.

The breakdown of the black community in order to maintain slavery began with the breakdown of the black family. Men and women were not legally allowed to get married because you couldn't have that kind of love. It might get in the way of the economics of slavery. Your children could be taken from you and literally sold down the river.
