We Are Not Consistent. We Have Both

It's Hard To Tell How Far Women's Individuality Has Come In The Past Twenty Years.

I Can't Understand Why The Front Pages Of Newspapers Can Cover Bird Flu And Swine Flu And Everybody Is Up In Arms About That And We Still Haven't Really Woken Up To The Fact That So Many Women In Sub-saharan Africa - 60 Percent Of People In - Infected With Hiv Are Women.

I Don't Have Clear-cut Positions. I Get Baffled By Things. I Have Viewpoints. Sometimes They Change.

There's So Much Stigma Around Hiv/aids. It's A Challenging Issue, And The People That Already Have Been Tested And Know Their Status Find It Very, Very Hard To Disclose Their Status, To Live With That Virus, And To Even Seek Out The Kind Of Information They Need. This Experience Of Going To South Africa A Decade Ago Really Woke Me Up To The Scale Of The Hiv/aids Pandemic In Sub-saharan Africa, How It Was Affecting Women And Their Children. I Haven't Been Able To Walk Away From It.

The Person Who Inspired Me The Most Was A Friend Of Mine, Anita Roddick. I Know That Anita Wasn't Known To Be An Ardent Feminist, But She Truly Was.
