When I entered public life in a more serious way, when I became leader of the Liberal Party in Manitoba in 1984, I began to experience, on a first-hand basis, the kind of personal comments that are made about women politicians but are not made about male politicians - some of which I could laugh at.
Lorsque ma vie publique a pris un tour plus sérieux, lorsque je suis devenue chef du Parti libéral du Manitoba, en 1984, j'ai commencé à être la cible du type de commentaires personnels dont font l'objet les politiciennes, mais non les politiciens, et certains d'entre eux sont risibles.
