Avocates

In a brief interview in today's New York Times, Margaret Atwood (who is Canadian, by the way; I didn't know that) says:

Read the book by Antonia Fraser called "The Warrior Queens". You will see that no woman ruler has been successful if she has been an advocate for women at large. Not one, ever. It's the Thatcher model, which is "All women should stay home and take care of their babies except me."

None? My golly.
