Yes, it is, without a doubt. And I know that you put your own physical self on the line so many times. I mean you've been arrested so many times. There was a little bit of footage of the moment when you were beaten so severely. Oh, my God, that was so grotesque and awful. And what was that recovery like for you?

Can you talk about, just so our listeners understand, Dolores was beaten severely by the police and had to be hospitalized for many weeks, as I understand it. Can you talk about that recovery and your family's response to it and... I'm assuming that that event made you more fearless, I'm assuming?

Oh, that's so lovely. I love that. Can you talk about your mom and the influence that she had on your family? I mean, I know she opened a hotel and gave temporary shelter to people in need. What was the dynamic like in your family growing up? Because it sounds like she was a very unusual person.

You said, and you've said in the past, we will never have peace in the world until feminists take power. That's true. I want you to talk about the power of women specifically and how it differs from the power of men. What do you think our secret sauce is as women?

And is your experience as a woman and as a woman in leadership, has your experience differed tremendously? Like when you... For example, when we were setting up this whole situation to talk to you today on the computer via Zoom and microphones and all of that, I noticed that there were, I think, three different women working in your office.
