I look forward to the day when there are more women politicians accepted in their own right and not as 'women politicians.'

Growing up in politics I know that women decide all elections because we do all the work.

I think sometimes women are not driven by the same, albeit, testosterone power thing that pushes men to get into politics.

It's time for women to wake up, to use the power of the vote, to honor the suffragists who chained themselves to the White House fence so that women could vote.

We are bringing women into politics to change the nature of politics, to change the vision, to change the institutions. Women are not wedded to the policies of the past. We didn't craft them. They didn't let us.

In politics women type the letters, lick the stamps, distribute the pamphlets and get out the vote. Men get elected.

Women are not only deciding the outcome of elections, they serve as important role models for their daughters and other young women - they hold a key to expanding the way in which women value and experience politics.

As women have played an increasingly important role in politics, there is no question that they've brought a different perspective, focusing attention on a broader set of issues and building alliances with other women.

It's a complicated set of opinions that women bring to the voting booth.

Women risked their lives for the right to vote. When I hear people say, 'Oh, I'm not gonna vote,' I just wanna tear their heart out.
