Not just relating to themselves, or, at yourself
'Politics was just something that wouldn't affect me'

"A lot of women weren't as fortunate as me
They weren't taught to wire a plug
They were taught to make a sponge
They weren't taught how to change a wheel on a car,
They were taught the proper way to iron a white shirt"
"You can't climb up this tree 'cause you're a girl
You can't come with us 'cause you're a girl

Why I shouldn't work with them, why I shouldn't be in the support group
I think a lot of women thump their feet"
"I've been in front, I have never give in,
I have never sat back, and I have never refused anybody,
And I am very proud of it, and I'll be proud to look back on it"
