We should no longer allow a mother to be defined as "just a mom". It is on her back that great nations are built. We should no longer allow any woman's voice to be drowned out or disregarded. As we affirm other women, and as we teach our sons, husbands and friends to hold them in the highest regard, we honor both the mothers whose shoulders we've stood on and the daughters who will one day stand tall on ours. . Oprah Winfrey
About This Quote

Mothers are the bedrock of society, holding in their hands the future of our children in all walks of life. They are in essence great leaders in their own right. Women have the power to transform the world through education, leadership, business and community service. The success of a society is ultimately dependent on how it treats the women who live within that society.
