A woman is subject matter enough.

A woman is a woman!

Women are responsible for creating their own roles.

Once again, no one in charge had given any thought to the possibility that a woman would be involved.

A woman is more than the sum of her parts.

A woman caring for her children; a woman striving to excel in the private sector; a woman partnering with her neighbors to make their street safer; a woman running for office to improve her country - they all have something to offer, and the more our societies empower women, the more we receive in return.

The day has to come when it's not a surprise that a woman has a powerful position.

Today is indeed an historic occasion when as a first chair-in-office woman I hand over to another woman chair in office, your Prime Minister, Julia Gillard, in the presence of a woman head of the Commonwealth, Her Royal Highness, Her Majesty the Queen of England.

I think there are a lot of men who feel they're being emasculated by having the woman be in charge; I've never had that problem.

A woman must combine the role of mother, wife and politician.
