And then, of course, we want to see women, whatever it is, whether it's security, whether it's corporate America, whether it's academia, whatever it is. Entertainment, whatever it is, we want to see more women in leadership roles making those decisions. I know. Think of it. This is in 2005. Right. More than 150 years since they started with a woman having the right to vote.

By the way, I'm wearing a suffragette necklace today. Good, good, good, good.

We owe them so much. We do. We owe them so much, and we all have a responsibility to be suffragists as we move them forward. There's lots more we have to get done. And we have to, at some point, have a woman president.

Well, first of all, poor Paul. I mean, wonderful Paul. This marriage was not something he bargained for. Is this your way of giving him an out right now? No. No, it's just how we laugh about it. Yeah. But see, before, my thought was that I was going to law school and I was going to do this, that. Then I got married, had five children, six years, seven days.

Serious. Why did you cut it off at five? Did you think you might have more or that was it then? No, I think five was it. I mean, there are all kinds of things that were going on at that very same time. And by the way, as I say to women, when you're taking inventory of your accomplishments, give yourself a gold star for being a mom because there's no multitasking.

Endeavor like that. Nothing. Nothing like it. Nothing like it. You're called upon to do everything all the time. Right. Yeah, and at first years, it was all about the kids. I didn't even have a chance to wash my face sometimes. When you have five little children crawling around, you don't even have time to wash your face. Yeah, right.

But you're so hardworking, I guess, so intensely involved that once they're in school all day, you think you're going to save the world. Right. Right? Yeah. You've been taking care of five children all day. And we had our systems and all the rest of that about how we would spend time at the park and this and that. And now they're in school all day. Oh, my gosh.

Is that when you became library commissioner? No, no. They were little when I became that. Oh, I see. So that wasn't as demanding a time as being the chair of the party or something like that. Right, right, right. I'll show you a picture one of these days of my getting sworn in. They're crawling on the table. They're crawling under the table. They were little kids, the little ones. So the first—

Then they were in school all day, and then I could take responsibility to do some other things. And, well, here's what happened. I was somewhat active politically, you know, for friends who were running for office, this or that. Not much, but a little bit. And Jerry Brown decided that he was going to run for president of the United States. Right. This is 1976. Right.

Jerry Brown said he's going to run for president of the United States. My very close friend in politics, Leo McCarthy, was the Speaker of the House at the time, chair of Jerry Brown's presidential campaign. I said to Leo, tell the governor if he wants to run for president, he cannot wait until— the California primary, which is in June, very late in the process.
