| Tavis Smiley: | What it is that you find yourself most often sharing when asked about how you became, the journey that you were on to become the first woman to be the editor of the editorial pages of "The New York Times." |
| Gail Collins: | It's often an invitation for me to tell about my suffering and the great challenges that I met, and what I love to tell people was that it was not a great suffering, horrible climb up a mountain for me because women who were about two seconds older, two seconds ahead of me, opened the door, opened the window by filing suits, by protesting, and mainly they didn't get the rewards - people like me got the rewards. I'm always so proud to tell people that I stand on their shoulders. |
