“That said, I got married very young, but it definitely wasn’t power for me — it was protection. I married for love, but being married to an extremely powerful man kept me from being sexually harassed. I would work, but I was still very much cocooned.

So when I came out of [the marriage] at 32, 33, it’s almost like I had to grow up.”
