I am fiscally prudent and socially progressive. I believe in protecting a woman's right to choose. I believe in marriage equality.

The state controlling a woman would mean denying her full autonomy and full equality.

For a modern woman it is important to be supported and that there is equality in every aspect and that it's not two halves that make a whole - it's two wholes that make a whole.

I am totally against the idea that a Muslim woman should not have the same opportunities as a Muslim man to learn to open up to work help shape the future. To close Islam down to a sexist approach is totally intolerable and ridiculous. It's not Islam.

To be successful a woman has to be much better at her job than a man.

Education liberates a woman.

My advantage as a woman and a human being has been in having a mother who believed strongly in women's education. She was an early undergraduate at Oxford and her own mother was a doctor.

Tonight you are hearing from the Democratic women of the Senate... We stand together on so many issues: economic prosperity quality education for all protecting a woman's right to choose.

When a woman earns a dollar the payback is higher. She'll invest in her children in their education health care and basic needs. The impact of a woman's role in the economy benefits society at large.
