“I don't mind living in a man's world, as long as I can be a woman in it.”

“I don't mind making jokes, but I don't want to look like one.”

“How wrong it is for a woman to expect the man to build the world she wants, rather than to create it herself.”

“A strong man doesn't have to be dominant toward a woman. He doesn't match his strength against a woman weak with love for him. He matches it against the world.”

“I'm a failure as a woman. My men expect so much of me, because of the image they've made of me—and that I've made of myself—as a sex symbol. They expect bells to ring and whistles to whistle, but my anatomy is the same as any other woman's and I can't live up to it”

“Looking back, I guess I used to play-act all the time. For one thing, it meant I could live in a more interesting world than the one around me.”

“I'm very definitely a woman and I enjoy it. ”
