Babies are smart. They can tell the difference between a responsive face and a blank face, wiped clean of emotion.
Quote by -Madeleine M. Kunin
The health benefits of paid sick days policies are obvious. They prevent the spread of disease. But the impact is wider. If a working mom or dad loses a job because of sickness, the family may slip into poverty.
Quote by -Madeleine M. Kunin
Video games seem to be mostly a boy thing - viewed by young boys and created by big boys. I believe that if more videos games were created by women, the violence in these games - especially against women - would be rapidly toned down.
Quote by -Madeleine M. Kunin
Legislative proposals that would enable an employer to determine whether or not a woman's insurance would cover the cost of birth control strikes women as particularly bizarre. Is the boss going to take care of the children that are conceived accidentally? Stop treating us like children. Women are grown ups.
Quote by -Madeleine M. Kunin
In Washington, the translation of E Pluribus Unum has been lost. The belief that we are one nation - united in purpose - caring about and for one another is no longer the practice.
Quote by -Madeleine M. Kunin
Why is computer science a good field for women? For one thing, that's where the jobs are, and for another, the pay is better than for many jobs, and finally, it's easier to combine career and family.
Quote by -Madeleine M. Kunin
Most babies know how to win us over. We cannot help but smile at them and watch them smile back.
Quote by -Madeleine M. Kunin
A source of conflict for women everywhere is the pull between reproduction and production. Women worldwide have difficulty in balancing their dual roles as caregivers and providers.
Quote by -Madeleine M. Kunin
Remember what Susan B. Anthony said? 'Failure is impossible.' Failure is possible if women don't vote.
Quote by -Madeleine M. Kunin
Most often, qualifications are defined by the credentials of the person who last held the job. If that is to continue to be the litmus test, white males will continue to be the top choice on any list, if the interviewer is also a white male.
Quote by -Madeleine M. Kunin
There are no more excuses for leaving women out of the inner circles of power. Qualified women are everywhere. Women are ready for leadership; they just need to be identified and asked.
Quote by -Madeleine M. Kunin
Many businesses oppose any government mandates, even if they are already following them.
Quote by -Madeleine M. Kunin
Many women do not want to venture out into the 'opinion world' until they are certain of themselves, the facts, and that they are right. They are afraid of being shot down. The result is often silence.
Quote by -Madeleine M. Kunin
Contradictory as it seems, malnutrition is a key contributor to obesity.
Quote by -Madeleine M. Kunin
It is easy but inaccurate to label any legislation which makes it easier for working families to combine family and work responsibilities 'job killers.'
Quote by -Madeleine M. Kunin
If we are serious about providing upward mobility and building a skilled workforce, pre-school is the place to begin.
Quote by -Madeleine M. Kunin
To be political means to speak out, to risk being called 'catty', or worse. I don't hear men worrying about whether they may be right or not. They enjoy the fight, whether it is with words or fists. Women still tend to shy away from controversy, to be uncomfortable with competition.
Quote by -Madeleine M. Kunin
It's time for male leaders to not only ask for binders of qualified women, but to re-write the definition of 'qualified.' The best man for the job, may in fact, be a woman, whose biography is not traditional, but is rich with experiences and skills that are not necessarily learned either in school or on the job.
Quote by -Madeleine M. Kunin
When we mention the 1 percent and the 99 percent, everybody now knows what we are talking about. It's part of our vocabulary. How quickly these numbers jumped from the sidelines to the center.
Quote by -Madeleine M. Kunin
When facing the public, politicians constantly filter their ideas through a political sieve. 'How will this affect the environmentalists, labor, management?' Sometimes the sieve gets so clogged by political taboos that no new ideas pass through.
Quote by -Madeleine M. Kunin
Without putting the brakes on out-of-control campaign contributions from individuals and corporations - it will be business as usual, with 1 percent of Americans pulling the strings.
Quote by -Madeleine M. Kunin
Any smart executive understands that to find the best talent she has to explore new territory that lies beyond familiar geography. That applies not only to gender, but also to race, religion, background and age.
Quote by -Madeleine M. Kunin
We're all basically made of the same stuff: generosity and selfishness, goodness and greed.
Quote by -Madeleine M. Kunin
Hugs are helpful, especially when women step out into a mostly male political world. Emotional support, at critical moments, enables women to stay in the race.
Quote by -Madeleine M. Kunin
Why are video games so violent? The ones I've seen remind me of the 4th of July, with everything exploding, buildings, cars, airplanes, men and women. Kill, kill, and kill for sport and entertainment.
Quote by -Madeleine M. Kunin
Common wisdom dictates that the vice president should provide balance to the ticket by representing a different part of the country, another set of experiences, or a basketful of electoral votes.
Quote by -Madeleine M. Kunin
Fair treatment in the work force is no longer exclusively a labor issue, nor is it a women's issue - it is a fundamental economic issue.
Quote by -Madeleine M. Kunin
Compromise, contrary to popular opinion, does not mean selling out one's principles. Compromise means working out differences to forge a solution which fits the diversity of the body politic.
Quote by -Madeleine M. Kunin
Our right to disagree is precious but fragile. The best way to protect and preserve it is to let the other side speak without demonizing them or destroying their right to be heard. Such civil exchanges are the heart beat of democracy - essential to keeping it alive.
Quote by -Madeleine M. Kunin
Every time a woman leaves the workforce because she can't find or afford childcare, or she can't work out a flexible arrangement with her boss, or she has no paid maternity leave, her family's income falls down a notch. Simultaneously, national productivity numbers decline.
Quote by -Madeleine M. Kunin
If months were marked by colors, November in New England would be colored gray.
Quote by -Madeleine M. Kunin
A skilled worker, regardless of the job description, remains a treasure.
Quote by -Madeleine M. Kunin
We see the world through the lens of all our experiences; that is a fundamental part of the human condition.
Quote by -Madeleine M. Kunin
When all the world appears to be in a tumult, and nature itself is feeling the assault of climate change, the seasons retain their essential rhythm. Yes, fall gives us a premonition of winter, but then, winter, will be forced to relent, once again, to the new beginnings of soft greens, longer light, and the sweet air of spring.
