Plenty Ladylike Quotes

“...I heard repeatedly about a statement Madeleine Albright had made: “There is a special place in hell for women who don’t help other women,” and it made me uncomfortable. But you can’t be for a woman just because she’s a woman; that is just as wrong as being for a man just because he’s a man. What we fight for is a level playing field.”
― Claire McCaskill, Plenty Ladylike: A Memoir

“Running against Blunt, I had emphasized my résumé, but because I was a woman, I had come across not as experienced, but as icy or bitchy. This time I emphasized my biography: that I was a product of the country, that I knew Missouri and its people.”
