Melanne Verveer quotes:

The lack of affordable, quality child care is a ticking time bomb.

No country can get ahead when it leaves half of its people behind

My hope is that when someone has that call to action, they realize that everybody can do something, even if that's just changing their own thinking. Women have to change the way they think, too. Not just men.

One time I was on the road with clients with an investment bank, and they thought it would be fun to go to a strip club. It was the most barren thing I've ever seen - this poor woman had nothing on and they were throwing quarters at her.

We must find opportunities to make change happen - we must not tire, we must not give up, we must persist.

A country cannot make progress while leaving half of its population behind.
