What She Said, February 12: Joan Jett
Rock and roll by its nature is sexual. So girls playing rock and roll is saying to the world, “We own our sexuality.” I think that pop music is sort of about “You can do what you want to me” energy, while rock and roll is “I’m going to do what I want to you” kind of energy.” –Joan Jett
What She Said, February 11: Betty Buckley
The work that must be done for each woman to reconnect with her psyche and to give herself a chance to live her own life is essentially the same. The realization of the equality of all races, the equality of all beings is essential. Feminism–the word–can give us a handle, a rallying point, a common ground, and help us build a bridge. Why not claim the gift of the word as a place to begin? The pure connecting factor is that those of us who describe ourselves as feminists want equal rights for all people. . . . If we’re for one another, we’re feminists. The rest is semantics. –Betty Buckley

Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else. –Judy Garland
What She Said, February 9: Sara Bareilles
You are overwhelmed and haven’t learned to be your own friend through this yet. You will. Your fear of jumping without a net is so valid, and the trick you haven’t learned yet is that that’s life, always and everywhere. There are no nets. Life is a big, long free fall, and the sooner you can embrace what is beautiful about that, the sooner you will start to enjoy the ride. –Sara Bareilles
What She Said, February 8: Haley Williams
Sometimes life just hits you, right in the face. And it’s alright. Because I, for one, think it’s kinda cool to have a black eye now and then. And I think it’s definitely okay to have scars, and it’s definitely okay to hurt, and be in pain and show it. And that’s why we have friends in this life. And it’s why we have music. –Haley Williams

What She Said, January 22: Sonia Johnson
I am a warrior in the time of women warriors; the longing for justice is the sword I carry.
― Sonia Johnson, activist, author, 1984 presidential candidate
What She Said, January 21: Elizabeth II
But over the years I have observed that some attributes of leadership are universal and are often about finding ways of encouraging people to combine their efforts, their talents, their insights, their enthusiasm and their inspiration to work together–Queen Elizabeth II
