“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
“17,000 children starve on this planet every single day. That fact alone should blow any conscious person out of their chair. You know, my mother used to say that a woman’s most important job is taking care of her children and her home. I laughed at that when I was younger, but I don’t laugh at it anymore. I just realize now that every child on the planet is one of our children, and the earth itself is our home.” KnowsShouldChildrenPersonsImportantFactsHomeCareEarthJobsUsedMotherRealizingLaughingPlanetsConsciousOur ChildrenBlowChairsLaughedImportant Jobs Author:Marianne Williamson
“In my childhood there was every year at my old home, Roxborough, or, as it is called in Irish, Cregroostha, a great sheep-shearing that lasted many days. On the last evening there was always a dance for the shearers and their helpers, and two pipers used to sit on chairs placed on a corn-bin to make music for the dance.” YearsTwoHomeLastsUsedChildhoodEveningChairsSheepCornHelpersPipersShearer Author:Lady Gregory
“I thought being in the wheelchair might be kind of limiting for me as an actor. It turned out cool in a lot of ways. Of course, at the end of the day, I can get up out of the chair and go home, but I'm very acutely aware that most people can't, so I try to give the situation that depth.” PeopleWayGivingTryingKindI CanEndsHomeMightCoursesActorsSituationDepthGet UpThe End Of The DayChairsBe KindWheelchairs Author:Jim Beaver
