There is nothing of greater importance to the well-being of society at large - of man as well as woman - than the true proper position of woman.

A society that does not use the intellectual power of its female population fully is not a wise society. Most women are not as tainted by mistakes in the conduct of the economy as the male population, and now they deserve an opportunity.

It has been said that the position of woman is the test of civilization, and that of our women was secure. In them was vested our standard of morals and the purity of our blood.

Women hold up more than half the sky and represent much of the world's unrealized potential. They are the educators. They raise the children. They hold families together and increasingly drive economies. They are natural leaders. We need their full engagement... in government, business and civil society.

Women are the real architects of society.

We live in an era of globalization and the era of the woman. Never in the history of the world have women been more in control of their destiny.

Women are the sustaining force of any society - they think of the children and the next generation's chances.

A society that respects women needs to elect leaders who care more about women's lives than they do about their or their company's bottom line.

I think, certainly in the more civilized societies, women's roles are growing in power all of the time.

It's very important to balance things; it's imperative to do something for the society, and women in particular, and help women who aren't in position to help themselves.
