There still is a war on women in terms of politicians in Washington and the state legislatures trying to eliminate any rights we have fought to win and that the Supreme Court has afforded us.

I'm a civil rights attorney. I'm a victim rights attorney.

I'm pretty tough.

People who are pierced should not be snickered at, should not become the object of ridicule, should not be singled out for special and uneven and unequal treatment. They should be respected just like everybody else.

There are some people who still feel threatened by strong women. That's their problem. It's not mine.

Eventually I figured out there was something systematic in the way women are treated.

It is very frightening to feel alone when you are standing against a rich and powerful person and all his attendant helpers.

Because of my life experiences, I understand that I have an opportunity to help other women. I have the desire and the ability.

When I graduated from the University of Pennsylvania I had a baby in one arm, a diploma in the other and I didn't know where I was going in life.

Do feminists have a sense of humor? Yes.

Well, let me just say - I mean, I'm not a person who's going to vote for any of the potential Republican nominees for the presidency of the United States.

Well, I like empowering my clients.
