“It's my greatest success. Women did not vote in Italy until 1946. A good friend and I put together a group of women to protest this. I was very young, just a girl. We went to the Viminale [home of the Ministry of the Interior] and spoke to the chair of the ministry board. Thanks to our initiative, we got the bureaucracy rolling on giving women the right to vote. I have to thank my father for this. He was in Geneva at the League of Nations, and women voted there. He thought it was absurd that women didn't vote in his country yet.” GivingCountryHomeTogetherYoungGirlFatherNationsGroupsVoteAbsurdThanksLeagueBoardsChairsProtestSpokesInitiativeMinistryRollingGood FriendBureaucracyInteriorsRight To VoteGenevaGreatest SuccessJust A GirlLeague Of Nations Author:Giovanna Cau

“My mother and my father had very, very strong Scots accents. We were Australian, and in those days when I was young, I spoke with a much more of an Australian accent than I have now. However I knew that if I went to England to become an actor, which I was determined to, I knew that I had to get rid of the Australian accent. We were colonials, we were Down Under somewhere, we were those little people Over There. But I was determined to become an Englishman. So I did.” PeopleIfsLittlesYoungMotherActorsFatherStrongEnglandDeterminedSpokesVery StrongAccentsAustralianEnglishmenScots Author:George Ogilvie

“You know, my father was a great encouragement for me because he spoke out for women's rights, he spoke out for girl's education. And at that time I said that why should I wait for someone else, why should I be looking to the government, to the army that they would help us? Why don't I raise my voice, why don't we speak up for our rights?” KnowsShouldSaidHelpingWisdomGovernmentGirlFatherSpeakWaitingVoiceCommunityLeadershipJusticeEducationHistoryRightsViolenceEqualEthicsEncouragementArmyRaisesStrategyHuman RightsIndividualityTerrorismIdeologySpokesFree SpeechShould IWomens RightsEqual RightsCivilityDisobedienceSpeaks OutCivil Disobedience Author:Malala Yousafzai
