I always say look at the women's movement. We have never been granted credit for being profoundly philosophical in our approach and changing the world. It is encouraging. I'm always been slightly cynical about the international conferences because they feel like high-class tourism. They're too big.
People go maybe only to have a good time.
But for the sake of those in other countries, they have to do it. We opened up a new way of thinking around the world, yes. Third world countries are just discovering it now. I really don't know how much of a role American women can play. There's a big differences of opinion about what American women can do to alleviate the plight of women in Afghanistan and it's my sense that the women in Afghanistan must rise up, as difficult as that might be.
