"In a meeting of PeaceWomen Across the Globe in late 2005, I met an environmental warrior who collects expended batteries, a woman who has dedicated her youth to educating children, and one who organized a drama troupe that travels around advocating women's rights.
「2005 年底，我在和平婦女生活交流會上，見到畢生撿拾廢棄電池的環保鬥士、傾青春之年留守窯洞教育小孩的教師、自力籌組劇團四處宣揚婦女權益的農村婦女……，在這些中國女性身上，你可以看到她們為體現理想不遺餘力的動人神采。」
