L. Frank BaumThe women of the world will dominate politics, some day, and you mustn't be too old-fashioned in your notions to join the procession of progress.
About This Quote
We all know that women are powerful in society, even if we can’t always see it. Women are leaders in many aspects of life, but in politics, they are still very much in the minority. And when they do enter politics, they often have to fight against the views of men. But when Gloria Steinem was asked what she thought about the future of women’s roles in politics, she didn’t mince words.
