Best known for exposing the exploitative conditions of the Playboy Clubs in the 60’s,  her contribution to social activism has made a real difference and allowed us to live in the world we live in and love today.”

“my mother really inspires me because now i am older, I can look back and recognise all things she has done for me and my family, and all the things she continues to do. She never puts herself first and is incredibly hard working in her home and career life – singlehandedly being the best woman in my life that I can only hope to become.”
