Transcription
Because we were so schooled in believing that you know what could she possibly have to say [...] [...] very seriously, because we understand that it is this is a change that would affect us whatever our occupation is. I mean a lot of things you see now you never would have seen before. People, women marching in the streets for themselves. We've marched for every other movement that exists, and we've worked for the Red Cross We've worked for you know everything else except ourselves and now to see women supporting other women and standing up for their own rights is really very very moving and gratifying. Where do you find the most frustrating resistance? Is the resistance from women themselves particularly annoying? Certainly from men. Women, who many of whom are kind of hanging on by their nails you know may fear change, but they don't have the power to discriminate against other women. It's men, and a rather small group of men at that who generally have that power and the resistance there is greater. So, wherever you get very close to a lot of money or a lot of political power, then you get, then the resistance stiffens.
