Excerpt:

KAPLAN: I don't think you can underplay the sense of personal power that the members of Jane felt, we were doing something so radical , breaking so many taboos, and changing women's lives as a result.

GALATZER-LEVY: Most political work is very, very slow. You have to keep telling yourself that things will get better. It's one step forward and half a step back. This was not like that. We could just do it. There was a problem and we could just solve it.
