“When we liberate the economic potential of women, we elevate the economic performance of communities, nations, and the world... There is a stimulative and ripple effect that kicks in when women have greater access to jobs and the economic lives of our countries: Greater political stability. Fewer military conflicts. More food. More educational opportunity for children... By harnessing the economic potential of all women, we boost opportunity for all people.” PeopleWorldChildrenCountryJobsPoliticalOpportunityNationsWomenCommunityGreaterEconomicEffectsMilitaryConflictEconomicsPerformancesEducationalAccessOur CountryKicksStabilityFewerWomens RightsMen WomenRippleBoostRipple Effect Author:Hillary Clinton

Woman's anti-slavery work, her temperance work, her demand for personal rights, for political equality, for religious freedom and every step of kindred character has met with opposition from the church as a body and from the clergy as exponents of its views.” CharacterBodyPoliticalReligionChurchReligiousViewsStepsRightsMetsDemandSlaveryPropertyEducationalResistanceBitterOppositionWomens RightsEvery StepReligious FreedomTemperanceClergyKindredExponentsAnti SlaveryPolitical EqualityPersonal Rights Author:Matilda Joslyn Gage
