Nothing changes the gender equation more significantly than women's economic freedom.

Female inferiority is internalised by us. Women need a lot more confidence.

Women tend to need the healthcare system more because we bear children. Insurance companies - not all of them, but many of them - 'gender-rate.' Women may pay 40% more for their health insurance than men do.

One's enemies are always talking about 'post-feminism.' It is a word invented by people who would like to do away with feminism.

Being a young parent, you can play cricket, football, and I can play chess with my son. In fact, he plays the piano better than I do.

I had to do a lot of studying 'cause I had to learn new languages all the time. So it was a little bit painful watching other kids play outside, and I'm stuck at home learning something.

I'm part of the tribe who have said goodbye to one parent and are feeling a sense of responsibility for the one who remains - in my case, my mother. How do I make her time smoother, happier? How do I try to ease her, a widow, away from the dark well of grief without dishonoring the necessity of that grief?

I am very happy and honored to be part of the Sony ATV family.
