00:00:00
You go from being basically just a
00:00:01
regular civilian to being a household
00:00:03
name overnight.
00:00:04
>> That is what happened.
00:00:05
>> It must have been wild.
00:00:06
>> Well, it was wild. It was like mic drop
00:00:08
moment. Say what? A young woman? Say
00:00:11
what? And of course, I was 37. Guess who
00:00:13
else was 37? She became prime minister.
00:00:15
And I was asked in my press conference,
00:00:17
are you going to have children? Now, I
00:00:18
knew I wasn't I wasn't going to, but I
00:00:20
don't think I said that. So, isn't it
00:00:22
interesting that I don't know how many
00:00:23
years later, 20 years later, Justinda
00:00:25
becomes prime minister, and she gets
00:00:26
asked the same question. So nothing so
00:00:28
much had changed, but nothing had
00:00:29
changed.
00:00:30
>> I knew at 16 that [music] I didn't have
00:00:31
the energy to do everything I wanted in
00:00:33
my life and have children, but that's
00:00:35
got much better. I wouldn't want to
00:00:36
anyone listening to think that's such so
00:00:38
much of a problem now. [music]
00:00:39
Corporates are much better. But in my
00:00:41
day, you had to be able to do this, go
00:00:43
there, do that. You had you could be a
00:00:44
woman, but you sort of had to all sense
00:00:46
of purpose sort of had to be available
00:00:48
like a man was.
00:00:49
>> So it was sort of one or the other
00:00:50
really. You had to pick.
00:00:51
>> Well, I mean, Sylvia Carter didn't have
00:00:53
kids. Helen Clark didn't have kids. I
00:00:54
mean just have a look at the women from
00:00:56
that era.
