Foot in a democratic speaker's office was when you were the democratic speaker. So that sort of tells you how closed the system really was for women. Never been that. Never been in there. And I had been in the republican speaker's office because I was the democratic leader. So I would go to negotiate to his office, but never to the democratic speakers. But they kept things in close. But in any event, they were all reasonably fine after that. Well, in this book, you go through a number of key moments that sort of marked your tenure as democratic leader. (38:55–39:05)
