      Talk about women in real power. In brightness, intelligence and extremely God gifted. And so many great writers and thinkers that happened to be women... Madame Staël, Susan Sontag, Anne Sexton, Silvia Plath, the Austen sisters, Elfriede Jelinek, Anne Munro, Svetlana Alexievich, Carmen Boullosa, Joyce Carol Oates, Berta Müller, María Zambrano, Morrison...etc etc etc

    Interesting how she pinned down America's thirst for "leadership" over democracy back in 1992. Charlie Rose was halfway thru saying "strongman". Yeah that about sums it up.
    Interesting how she also mentioned the lack of connection with voters in the two parties. That's what happens when they pretty much ignore the voters while throwing them distractions and aim to keep their focus on the other party's wrongdoing. Watching this... well it was inevitable that after decades of being ignored, voters became more extreme in their views. It's not the total cause for the current problems, but it's the driving force.

      She was born on the 30s, amidst the Great Depression, and long before the time of pushing beauty creams and augmentations like plastic surgery. They all smoked, in public, even in high school, openly. They did not have all of the in-depth research about using SPF, not even sure if many of them used it at all until the late 60s and 70s. There was not clean drinking water available in all regions of the states. I am not sure of their diet but all that being said - beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I think she is absolutely stunning but I look past patriarchal views of women. I do not adhere to all of the conventional standards of beauty. It's a shame that in 2024 people will sit and disregard a woman's brilliance and focus on superficial looks.

    why was she so shy and lost with words, doesn't she talk about power and speaking your voice, she was so empty in opinions and words, what a waste of interview, if the interviewer interrupt often, you speak louder..

    • @ElizabethJohnson-j8t
      @ElizabethJohnson-j8t 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      This man interrupted her repeatedly. This was very common in the 90s, and it still does happen today. Women who are brilliant and confident don't need to shout and battle with men. Speaking your voice isn't always literal, and being powerful isn't being the loudest. The rest of us notice how gracefully she handled being mistreated as intelligent women typically are. Many of us are used to the treatment ourselves.
