But I think that the world that my grandchildren will have will be better than the one I had when I turned 20.

We can fight against stuff together in ways we couldn't before.

• For women in my lifetime things have changed quite a bit, but not enough. They have only changed for women that have education and access to health care in the Western world. But look at the rest of the world.

They are abused, tortured, exploited and even killed with impunity.
