I've always had the impression that real militants are like cleaning women, doing a thankless, daily but necessary job.

There are women who take it to the wire. That's what they are looking for, the ultimate confrontation. They want a smack.

I first became interested in women and religion when I was one of the few women doing graduate work in Religious Studies at Yale University in the late 1960's.

The religious superstitions of women perpetuate their bondage more than all other adverse influences.

People identify with me - everyone does - African American women, Caucasian women, they all identify with me because I'm ethnic.
