00:00:00.500 --> 00:00:05.580
There’s a picture online, say, that says 
that a woman’s place is in the house

2
00:00:05.580 --> 00:00:09.040
and the senate when she was in the state legislature.

3
00:00:09.040 --> 00:00:15.160
And she wore, like I said, 
many hats through her life experience.

4
00:00:15.160 --> 00:00:24.423
I mean, we talked about segregation, we’ve talked about, 
you know, her work ethic, being a working woman,

5
00:00:25.500 --> 00:00:32.370
being in the room and being second-guessed, second-guessed, 
not only one, two, three, maybe 50 times,

6
00:00:32.370 --> 00:00:35.023
and understanding that and still marching on.

7
00:00:36.360 --> 00:00:42.950
Coming into Congress with a historical, at that time, 
number of women, coming to Congress she knew that,

8
00:00:42.950 --> 00:00:45.320
that carried a great responsibility.

9
00:00:45.320 --> 00:00:54.000
And just because she was a woman did, 
did not mean she could not,

10
00:00:54.000 --> 00:01:02.540
how would you say, spar, you know, 
with men on public policy in debate

11
00:01:02.540 --> 00:01:15.540
and not kowtowing, one may say, 
or bowing to men of equal power in this process.
