?I am grateful to be a woman. I must have done something great in another life.?- Maya Angelou
"It's important to remember that feminism is no longer a group of organizations or leaders. It's the expectations that parents have for their daughters, and their sons, too. It's the way we talk about and treat one another. It's who makes the money and who makes the compromises and who makes the dinner. It's a state of mind. It's the way we live now."- Anna Quindlen
"When the woman put their heads together, powerful things can happen."- Oprah Winfrey
"If women didn't exist, all the money in the world would have no meaning."- Aristotle Onassis
"Whatever glory belongs to the race for a development unprecedented in history for the given length of time, a full share belongs to the womanhood of the race."- Mary McLeod Bethune
"I alone cannot change the World, But I can cast a stone across the waters to create many ripples."- Mother Teresa
"Every girl, no matter where she lives, deserves the opportunity to develop the promise inside of her."- Michelle Obama
"Think like a queen. A queen is not afraid to fail. Failures is another steppingstone to greatness."- Oprah Winfrey
"A woman's guess is much more accurate than a man's certainty."- Rudyard Kipling
"There is no limit to what we as women, can accomplish."- Michelle Obama
