I think in a society where you can't even pass the Equal Rights Amendment, it's very difficult to women make a progress.

It is all of our jobs to make sure that women's rights are human rights, and that they do have a place at the table, and we all push toward equality.
Of all the rights of women, the greatest is to be a mother
[Women photographers] provide an inspiring reminder to all women that the choice to see, or be seen, is ours. We live in a culture in which this decision is undermined by the notion that the single most valuable contribution a woman can make is to be visually attractive. Women photographers make a strong case for seeing and an even stronger case for recording what you see.
