“But the idea that women can't take care of themselves still permeates our culture.”

“In the United States, female fisticuffs were marginalized, first as erotic vaudeville in the 19th century and later as serious competition developed in the first half of the 20th. Legal wars waged by boxers in the 1960s and '70s won women the right to compete professionally nationwide.”

“The denial of female aggression is a destructive myth. It robs an entire gender of a significant spectrum of power, leaving women less than equal with men and effectively keeping them 'in their place' and under control.”

“It is very important that we take care of our health.”

“I take care of myself. I work out three times a week. I have a trainer, and we just work out for an hour.”

“You take care of business on the field; everything will take care of itself off the field.”
