"I am a woman.
I am young. I am brown. I am a mother. I am rural. I am a worker. I am an immigrant. I am old. I am of the North. I am a professional. I am happy. I am poor. I have access to resources. I am disabled. I am white. I am of the South. I am urban.
I am a woman. I am an individual."
Address to the United Nations
