About This Quote
Women are not just waiting to be filled up with resources-they're waiting to put their resources on the table to be able to lead towards a different world. It is an acknowledgment that women need both the resources necessary to tend to the needs of their family and the opportunity to lead. When women are given both, they can make world changing decisions that benefit all of us. South African activist Winnie Mandela once said, "When I was growing up, my grandmother used to tell me about how my mother helped her make ends meet by selling vegetables on the side of the road.
She used to say that if she had had more money, she would have gone to school. And that's what women want most - enough money for food and education for their children."
