Our Struggle Today Is Not To Have

This Woman's Place Is In The House - The House Of Representatives.

Congress Is A Middle-aged, Middle-class, White Male Power Structure ... No Wonder It's Been So Totally Unresponsive To The Needs Of This Country.

I Always Had A Decent Sense Of Outrage.

I've Been Described As A Tough And Noisy Woman, A Prize Fighter, A Man-hater, You Name It. They Call Me Battling Bella, Mother Courage, And A Jewish Mother With More Complaints Than Portnoy. There Are Those Who Say I'm Impatient, Impetuous, Uppity, Rude, Profane, Brash, And Overbearing. Whether I'm Any Of Those Things, Or All Of Them, You Can Decide For Yourself. But Whatever I Am -- And This Ought To Be Made Very Clear -- I Am A Very Serious Woman.

In Britain The Government Has To Come Down In Front Of Parliament Every Day To Explain Its Actions, But Here The President Never Answers Directly To Congress.
