If Congress refuse to listen to and grant what women ask, there is but one course left then to pursue. What is there left for women to do but to become the mothers of the future government?
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
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.
You can see the absence of women in governing bodies from Congress to state legislators, on corporate boards, in tenured positions in academia, and as forepeople in factories.
We need to empower women. Give women a voice in the decision-making process. Give women a political voice where they can champion, for their own welfare. And, of course, for us. United Nations - organizations, agencies - we need to do our part.
Politics need to stop treating women as a special-interest group.
Women ought to have representatives, instead of being arbitrarily governed without any direct share allowed them in the deliberations of government.
Women leading means that Congress is working to create jobs, make quality child care more affordable and strengthen the middle class because we understand that America grows the economy and opportunity from the middle out, not the top down.
As women, we know that we must always find ways to change the process because the present institutions want to hold on to power and keep the status quo.
I want to organize so that women see ourselves as people who are entitled to power, entitled to leadership.
At present, our country needs women's idealism and determination, perhaps more in politics than anywhere else.
Women have worked hard; starved in prison; given of their time and lives that we might sit in the House of Commons and take part in the legislating of this country.
