Pat Summitt

We do not win championships with girls. We win with competitors

Mary Robinson

As Elders, we are fully committed to the principle that all human beings are of equal worth. You will see that we highlight equality for girls and women - not just women's rights.

Oddly, I think if you look at comic books, you look at the shelves in the store, it's predominantly male characters, historically. But if you look outside the window it's 52-percent female, and something odd is going on there.

Most photographers go and photograph something that they see, that exists, and that somebody else has created - they document it.

It's the meaning of the word photography: "writing with light."

Mario Puzo

Marilyn Monroe

Marilyn Monroe

In Hollywood a girl's virtue is much less important than her hairdo. You're judged by how you look, not by what you are.

You're not alone.
