"Women earning less for the same work is not fair, I am a feminist in this respect."
"I don't need to be a feminist, I have always been able to do what I wanted without having to fight for it — because others did that before."
"There is a war going on against the traditional family consisting of man, woman and child."
"I think it is very exhausting to be a woman, I always had to give more than a man."
"Feminism is a positive word for me. It means to me not to be undervalued."
"I admire the women of today. They go into the parliament, they study, they get divorced."
"Being a woman means being elegant and simple at the same time. It is something special."
"For a woman, motherhood brings a significant change. This includes many new joys, but also sacrifices."
"It is more difficult for a woman to make a career, but once you have reached a high position, many opportunities open up because and not in spite of being a woman."
"I find it normal that some roles are more attributed to the man and others to the woman."
"I don't notice any difference between men and women in Italy, at least not in Tuscany."
"I think feminism will save the world. It is healing and there for everybody."
