If it wasn’t for the women’s movement, I wouldn’t be where I am today Picture Quote #1

Suppose you came across a woman lying on the street with an elephant sitting on her chest. You notice she is short of breath. Shortness of breath can be a symptom of heart problems.

Until the playing field has veen leveled and lingering stereotypes are gone, you can’t even ask the question Picture Quote #1

I never went into physics or the astronaut corps to become a role model. But after my first flight, it became clear to me that I was one. And I began to understand the importance of that to people.

I suggest taking the high road and have a little sence of humour and let things roll off your back. I think that’s very important Picture Quote #1

My parents must have done a great job. Anytime I wanted to pursue something that they weren’t familiar with, that was not part of their lifestyle, they let me go ahead and do it Picture Quote #1

It’s well known that many girls have a tendency to dumb down when they’re in middle school Picture Quote #1

It’s no secret that I’ve been reluctant to use my name for things Picture Quote #1
