Quote by -Madeleine M. Kunin
What works for a man, still does not work for a woman - both in terms of how they see themselves and how we see them.
Quote by -Madeleine M. Kunin
Poor privileged white men. Their stranglehold on power is slowly being loosened.
Quote by -Madeleine M. Kunin
When a man interrupts a woman in mid-sentence, it reveals much about him. First, it shows he hasn't been listening to what she is saying, and secondly, it indicates that he doesn't want to listen to what she will say. Her views are not important.
Quote by -Madeleine M. Kunin
The death of a famous person is different from the death of a loved one, whether it is Michael Jackson, Frank McCourt, or Walter Cronkite. We didn't know any of them personally, and yet, we experience a sense of loss.
Quote by -Madeleine M. Kunin
The very qualities that make it harder for women to get elected - not being part of the old boy's network - gives them the advantage of having fresh, and yes, clean faces.
Quote by -Madeleine M. Kunin
Why can't the world be like a summer day, when I thought that health care would be an ethical decision and wars existed only to be stopped?
Quote by -Madeleine M. Kunin
Are there really good wars and bad wars? We thought so during World War II, and in retrospect, we were right. But in Vietnam, and Iraq we were wrong.
Quote by -Madeleine M. Kunin
When people have lost their jobs or are afraid of losing their jobs in the future, they lash out. They want others to know about their fears, their pain.
Quote by -Madeleine M. Kunin
Susan B. Anthony must be turning in her grave if she knew that millions of women who have the right to vote are not exercising it. Why? Because they haven't got the interest or the time, or they have just given up hope.
Quote by -Madeleine M. Kunin
It's time for women to wake up, to use the power of the vote, to honor the suffragists who chained themselves to the White House fence so that women could vote.
Quote by -Madeleine M. Kunin
The Republican agenda is, and always has been, to repeal Roe v. Wade, and at the very least, erode it to the greatest extent possible.
Quote by -Madeleine M. Kunin
When women and men can shed an equal quantity of tears in public, that's when we'll have equal power.
Quote by -Madeleine M. Kunin
The political environment we create matters because a disturbed person cannot always tell the difference between explosive rhetoric and explosive actions.
Quote by -Madeleine M. Kunin
We assume in our daily lives that the world is both safe and sane. Otherwise, we could not carry on.
Quote by -Madeleine M. Kunin
It's time to recognize what compromise means: no side wins or loses all.
Quote by -Madeleine M. Kunin
Money often determines not only who gets elected, but what gets done. Which voices do lawmakers listen to, the banks or home owners, coal companies, or asthma sufferers, the CEOs or the unemployed?
Quote by -Madeleine M. Kunin
I hadn't thought that women were particularly dangerous golfers. Could that be the reason that the Augusta National Golf club refuses to take down its 'No Women Allowed' sign?
Quote by -Madeleine M. Kunin
As for a fantasy life, working women are more likely to fantasize about finding the perfect child care provider who she can both trust and afford. She might also fantasize that tonight her husband will both shop for and cook dinner.
Quote by -Madeleine M. Kunin
It is the future, of course, which politicians grapple with, and that is why politics is so disorderly. Only history clears away some of the debris.
Quote by -Madeleine M. Kunin
You have to build your credentials as a candidate, not just as a woman. You also have to be willing to exercise power. We've been educated to be mothers, peacemakers, but we must learn that we can't please everybody.
Quote by -Madeleine M. Kunin
Somehow I got the feeling at an early age that I had to do something important with my life.
Quote by -Madeleine M. Kunin
If being a woman is a factor politically, it's usually not because of a conscious bias, but because women are a novelty.
Quote by -Madeleine M. Kunin
I'm not going to be bullied or pushed around by the group of the day. You've got to have political courage. You've got to have your own inner beliefs.
Quote by -Madeleine M. Kunin
The vice presidential candidate does not usually make much difference at the polls. But that may be changing as voters become more aware that the understudy must be ready to take over if needed.
Quote by -Madeleine M. Kunin
There are not many female role models to guide voters, and the tradition that a Southern woman's place is in the home still lingers in some quarters.
Quote by -Madeleine M. Kunin
When I ran for governor, was I ambitious? Yes. Anyone, male or female, who goes through the trials of a campaign must be ambitious.
Quote by -Madeleine M. Kunin
To make flexibility work, it is not only necessary to change our attitude about who is a good worker and who is not, but we have to train managers at all levels to recognize the difference between the number of hours worked and the quality of work produced.
Quote by -Madeleine M. Kunin
If we are to create a new agenda for family/work policies, employers and employees have to take a seat at the same table and recognize their mutual gains.
Quote by -Madeleine M. Kunin
'Job Killer.' Those are the two words you are most likely to hear uttered by most American CEOs when confronted with proposals to enact family-friendly work policies.
Quote by -Madeleine M. Kunin
Working moms, and increasingly working dads, don't want a government handout, but they do need a hand up.
Quote by -Madeleine M. Kunin
The best antidote to poverty remains simple - a paycheck. Policies like paid family leave, workplace flexibility and affordable quality childcare can make the difference for two-parent or single-parent working families who struggle to make ends meet.
Quote by -Madeleine M. Kunin
The United States is no longer first in the world in upward mobility. We can reverse that trend by giving our young children an equal start in life as they begin their journey to fulfill the American Dream.
Quote by -Madeleine M. Kunin
Investment in early education is not a Liberal or Conservative idea. Nor should it be decided along party lines.
Quote by -Madeleine M. Kunin
Most female CEOs have been more understanding than their male counterparts, of the stress that new mothers experience to 'do it all,' which often means, 'all by themselves.' Why? They've been there. They understand the policies needed to keep women in the workforce.
Quote by -Madeleine M. Kunin
One reason the United States is one of three countries in the world that do not have any form of paid maternity leave is that many American business leaders, like the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, oppose any family-friendly policies. They scare people into thinking maternity leave will be a job killer.
Quote by -Madeleine M. Kunin
We must speed up the time table for fathers, brothers and sons to provide their mothers, daughters and sisters with the same opportunities that they give themselves.
Quote by -Madeleine M. Kunin
A small pay discrepancy between men's and women's salaries for the same job may seem inconsequential. But over the years, salary discrimination adds up to a significantly smaller pension.
Quote by -Madeleine M. Kunin
We continue to blame the poor for their own condition. They are lazy. We do not want to know that the poorest of the poor are toddlers under three years of age.
Quote by -Madeleine M. Kunin
The focus of Congress is on keeping the nation secure - and it doesn't see that food security is an essential part of that responsibility. Instead of putting more food on the tables of America, they are busy finding ways to take it away.
