|
<p>I knew from when I was very young that I wanted to do
|
|
something useful. I think that was my main goal.
|
|
I remember once telling a guidance counselor I wanted to find my
|
|
place in society. And that didn’t mean society with a capital S,
|
|
it meant I wanted to do something for the society.
|
|
She misunderstood me.
|
|
I liked science, I was good at science. When I was quite young,
|
|
maybe 12, I loved horseback riding, and I memorized all the
|
|
bones of a horse because I wanted to. But I also was thinking
|
|
at one time of being a social worker.
|
|
And the combination of science and social work—
|
|
the most logical thing seemed to be medicine.
|
|
In the 60s, when I had my first child,
|
|
I earned about $15,000 a year.
|
|
About half of that went for childcare most of
|
|
the rest went for income tax.
|
|
I thought this was particularly difficult. I was fortunate
|
|
to be making at least $15,000, but most of my contemporaries
|
|
couldn’t make that much, and a lot of them didn’t work for that
|
|
reason. And I felt that something really needed to be done about it.
|
|
Somebody suggested that I make an appointment with the
|
|
head of the House Ways and Means Committee.
|
|
So I met him and I told him what I thought. We perhaps met
|
|
together for 10 or 15 minutes, and I went home and
|
|
nothing happened for a while. But within the next few years
|
|
childcare did become, at least in part, deductible.
|
|
Some years ago I was at a party and met a woman who had been
|
|
his assistant. When we were introduced she said,
|
|
“I know your name. You were the one who was influential in
|
|
getting the bill passed that allowed women to deduct childcare.”
|
|
You don’t have to have connections, you don’t have to money,
|
|
you don’t have to have a high office. You can make things change.
|
|
One should never assume that things cannot be changed.
|
|
When things are wrong, they can always be changed,
|
|
that’s what people do. And it only takes somebody with enough
|
|
passion, with enough bulldog perseverance to make that difference.</p>
