i think that back then i'm not sure i knew what feminism was. know, i had had one sentence in my textbook somewhere in the past that said women were given the vote. i thought it was all finished, it was all won, and if i was still having a lot of difficulty, it must be my personal fault. >> honey, when was the last time you baked a cake? >> last week. >> when i was growing up, we thought the position of women was biologically dictated. ♪ what a wonderful sight when your wash is done ♪ >> we didn't feel we had the right to be equal or to be angry. it was the '50s, and the women in college were still being educated to be mothers and the wives of executives and so on. and we were not learning about anything that had to do with women's own status in society. as a journalist, i wanted to write about what i was interested in, and that was politics. but there weren't so many women who were political reporters then, pretty few really. i wrote some unsigned pieces, what to do on dates in new york and how to cook without really cooking for men. all kinds

by not just feminizing leadership in pakistan. you know that women are in positions of power and responsibility in many places in pakistan, from the speaker to the foreign minister to many ambassadors and up and down the line. there's a critical mass in parliament that has brought a very -- i would call it a landmark legislation for enhancing women's rights and empowering women and supporting and protecting women in a changing society. while that is something we have done together, there is a women's business council that we are working on together that mrs. clinton put together that we signed up to on the sidelines of the un general assembly session late last year. i want to take the opportunity to tell you that when we say we are looking at the bottom of the pyramid, pakistan has for the first time, the government has for the first time put up a safety net for the many people who have been driven into the line of poverty. but that safety net is accessible to women household owners only. it gives them a direct access to income. t

(james brooks) there was great effort given to presenting what i hope was a new kind of heroine. we should bypass thomas circle that way. if you don't go over 40, we should catch green lights. (molly haskell) "broadcast news" makes an interesting parallel with "his girl friday" because it's about a tv newsroom as opposed to a news newsroom, and a woman torn between 2 men. holly hunter, though, for one thing is, is the boss in a sense, she's the producer, whereas william hurt is the pretty-boy anchor. if i can pick your brain... i, i can't help you, sorry, i'm not here to teach remedial reporting. and it has nothing to do with the fact that i left your room instead of staying there?

and in the light of that essay, taking seriously her feminism, because it was i thought very important to her, i read the novel and read them. and what turned out to be a slightly different way from other people because i was interested in this, in the issue of her being a woman and took that seriously. so i started writing essays about the books, and then threaded and together with what seemed to me biographical materials that was relevant. and to my amazement this book considered a biography. so i really, i moved backwards into biography, not forwards. i didn't know -- i didn't intend to write a biography. i backed into it. but i have to say in my own phrase, that once i saw what i done, i thought this is a really good idea. so i continued. i continue doing it. i saw the virtues of biography as a way of addressing very personal issues. maybe we will talk about just baker later because i don't speak you don't have to cover all of them. >> okay. >> that's expressed, the way we are going speedy let me say one thing about josephine baker. i fear that i danced as well as virginia woolf, a
