i heard her speak at duke university. i was very aware that a black woman was running for president and i was very frustrated and i could not vote yet. later on, i was very impressed by the emerging voices of lesbian authors, rita may brown, audrian rich but also i had an interest in what was going on globally in terms of jewish women who had been resistance fighters in the holocaust and then the memoirist who wrote about the struggle for women to tell their stories in a female voice and initially i majored in jewish history as an undergrad and lived in israel for a year. so i'm kind of all over the place in terms of survivors, those unafraid to speak, those who were able to use the written words the way i hoped today. .. >> guest: i am a big fan of the women who have done a lot of work building the national women's history museum. we're trying to establish in d.c. and that ceo is joan wageses, but meryl streep is working as the spokeswoman. we're trying to get that built. it's a virtual museum right now. i'm also a perso
