We say that slavery has vanished from European civilization, but this is not true. Slavery still exists, but now it applies only to women and its name is prostitution.
I buy hats like women buy shoes. I have well over 150.
I have this dream that the first responders to 911 calls will not be law enforcement personnel but robots. Robots can put eyes and ears on the scene much faster than you can with policemen or women.
I've never been monogamous. It might happen, but it never has yet. I don't understand women, I'm off that kick.
In the Sixties, fashion was about liberation. It was about setting women free; it wasn't about being unable to walk.
Very learned women are to be found, in the same manner as female warriors; but they are seldom or ever inventors.
In some countries, women aren't allowed to wear a swimsuit.
I don't get this whole super-skinny obsession. I really think women look more beautiful when they let their curves show.
Most women don't play like guys do: they don't wrestle, fight, get into brawls. They don't know how to express themselves in a physical, active way.
I've been working some really long hours for the last five or six years. Anybody who works on series television knows, and especially women because women spend probably two hours more than the guys with all their hair and makeup crap.
Women can't be afraid to look like action heroes. It's not always pretty, but when it's on the screen, it translates well to the audience.
When I started Victoria Principal Products, there were 22 full-time employees - they were all women.
I enjoy speaking to other women about turning 50, and how we can enjoy it, and how we can explore it.
Victory Over Violence is an organization that was created to help fund shelters for women and children.
The Taliban outlawed wearing polish in the late 1990s, punishing some offenders by amputating a fingertip. Importing polish was banned only in July 2001, which suggests that women were still wearing painted nails within the safety of their homes.
When Baby Boomer women started choosing hotel-like birthing centers over hospital delivery rooms, hospitals quickly wised up. Now even rural hospitals offer well-designed labor-delivery-recovery suites.
I am careful about fiction. A novel is not a tract or an essay. If I want to write about land reforms, or Hindu-Muslim relations, or position of women, I can do it as it affects my characters as in 'A Suitable Boy.' I could only write about issues sp...
If women can be railroad workers in Russia, why can't they fly in space?
That was a major goal for me - to be able to reach and encourage more women, to encourage them to express themselves and be what they want to be. People get very trapped where they are.
I started at the very highest level so the upper end is something I know very well. I know it instinctively. But all the years I was designing, it frustrated me that I could reach so few women.
It's for all the women who embrace my aesthetic, but can't afford a Vera Wang dress. If women can get anything out of it - a little bit of me or a lot of me, that's what's important.
