I also had an aunt who was a role model in a way because she was sort of eccentric and made me feel that you could do anything. She was a little bit unreal, but she was a role model. And then of course when I become a feminist and I started to read about the early feminists, the Suffrage Movement, that was so inspiring the fact that women would take up such big projects. I also think of who has helped me understand things and inspired me like Adrienne Rich and Gerda Lerner.
