That's all I could ever hope for, to have a positive effect on women. 'Cause women are powerful, powerful beings. But they're also the most doubtful beings. They'll never know - we'll never know - how powerful we are.

When the women begin to take an active part in the struggle, no power on earth can stop us from achieving freedom in our lifetime.

Freedom cannot be achieved unless the women have been emancipated from all forms of oppression.

It has been women who have breathed gentleness and care into the harsh progress of mankind.

As long as women are bound by poverty and as long as they are looked down upon, human rights will lack substance. As long as outmoded ways of thinking prevent women from making a meaningful contribution to society, progress will be slow.

Women helping each other - coaching, mentoring, and providing tips - is a great way for us to be our own force.
