Kayli Carter: Pamela Whalen

Quotes 

• Bella Abzug : [to Alice, Rosemary and Pamela]  Let me tell you the truth about Phyllis Schlafly. She's a liar, a fearmonger and a con artist, but worst of all, she's a goddamn feminist. She might be one of the most liberated women in America.

  Alice Macray : Excuse me, but you don't know anything about Phyllis. Before she took up our cause, we were the punchline of jokes on late night talk shows, made to feel guilty for being proud homemakers, wanting to stay home with our children instead of going to work in an office.

  Pamela Whalen : We don't want to be working girls.

  Rosemary Thomson : She's been our savior, our Joan of Arc.

  Alice Macray : Everything we know, we learned from her.

  Bella Abzug : What have you learned from her?

  Alice Macray : So many things she's taught us.

  Bella Abzug : Has she taught you how to lobby legislators?

  Alice Macray : [scoffs]  Of course.

  Bella Abzug : Has she taught you how to draft a press release? A speech?

  Alice Macray : Yes.

  Bella Abzug : How to answer reporters' questions, get the television interview?

  Alice Macray : Yes.

  Bella Abzug : How to create a budget and balance it?

  Alice Macray : Yes.

  Bella Abzug : Congratulations. You're working girls.
