bears cubs food four good hard health instead later mama mate supply twice wait winter
Mama grizzlies mate later than other bears. They have two cubs instead of four. They wait four years - about twice as long as other bears - between having cubs. And after they're pregnant, if winter is hard or their health is not good or the food supply is uncertain, they re-absorb the embryo into their body.
imagine suddenly
After feminism, I suddenly realised: not everyone has to live the same way. Imagine that!
advertising editors error magazines readers tend thus women
The error that we tend to make is that we think that women's magazines are what editors want and what their readers want - and thus are social indicators - when, in fact, they are what advertisers want. They're just advertising indicators.
distance successful years
It's hard to measure success when we're dealing with between 500 and 5,000 years of patriarchy depending on which continent we sit, so I would say feminism has been successful and we have a huge distance to go, huge.
country years gathering
During years of working for a living, I have experienced much of the legal and social discrimination reserved for women in this country, I have been refused service in public restaurants, ordered out of public gathering places and turned away from apartment rentals. All for the clearly stated, sole reason that I am a woman.

Women must have seats at the table because peace is too crucial to be left only to the politicians or only to the male half of our world.
past knowing important
I'm not sure that it's up to me to sum up what I've done with it in the past. I'm not sure there's a way of knowing what we have done that is useful or important.
life
Gender is probably the most restricting force in American life.
For twenty years, not a week went by when I wasn't on a plane.
