"I could be a single voice calling for aid, another woman could be a single voice calling for aid, but if 3[7] women world leaders say this is what we think would make a difference in the lives of the ordinary women, I think the world would listen."

~Ellen Johnson Sirleaf
   President, Liberia
   2006-present

"To me equality is the important thing. I don't want preferences, I don't want to be preferred as a woman. But I want to be permitted that I am a human being who has the capacity to do what I have to do, and it doesn't matter whether I was born a man or woman. The work will be done that way."

~Eugenia Charles
   Prime Minister, Dominica
   1980 - 1995
