"The thing women must do to rise to power is to redefine their femininity. Once, power was considered to be a masculine attribute. In fact, power has no sex."
"To love what you do and feel that it matters; how could anything be more fun?"
"Some questions don't have answers, which is a terribly difficult lesson to learn."
Today, we celebrate the life of Katharine Graham, the first woman to serve as publisher of a prominent publishing company. Graham is often remembered for her firm support of reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein as the two Post reporters unveiled the Watergate scandal. In spite of being threatened publicly by President Nixon's Attorney General, John Mitchell, Graham's decision to "pursue the facts as far as they led" clearly demonstrates that "power has no sex."
