The best way for us to cultivate fearlessness in our daughters and other young women is by example.

Woman is woman's natural ally.

We are the women our parents warned us against, and we are proud.

Only when women rebel against patriarchal standards does female muscle become more accepted.

Some women chasing men, and some - for dreams. If you are at a fork, remember, your career will not wake up one morning to say that more does not love you.

Women are strong and fragile. Women are beautiful and ugly. We are soft spoken and loud, all at once.

Woman, I hold, is the personification of self-sacrifice, but unfortunately today she does not realise what a tremendous advantage she has over man.

For any of us in this room today, let's start out by admitting we're lucky. We don't live in the world our mothers lived in, our grandmothers lived in, where career choices for women were so limited.

Be the Kind of Woman that when Your Feet Hit the Floor Each Morning, the Devil Says, 'Oh Crap, She's Up!

I have to tell you, my seven-year-old granddaughter said to my daughter, her mother, 'So what's the big deal about Grandma Maddy having been Secretary of State? Only girls are Secretaries of State.' Most of her lifetime, it's true. But at the time it really was a big deal.

If a guy is intimidated by a woman in leadership, he has real problems with his own concepts of masculinity. That's a harsh statement, but I believe it to be true.

I love a bold statement piece!
