“Se pure tutti i capi di stato del mondo fossero donne ciò non significherebbe affatto la fine dell'impegno per una società giusta. La società sarà davvero giusta quando le condizioni per raggiungere ciò che si desidera saranno le stesse per tutti, quando il trattamento equo sarà diffuso a tutti i livelli, in qualunque ambiente lavorativo”
