We Need A Mayor Who Knows How

I Firmly Believe That If You Help A Woman, Then You Educate A Child, You Help The Family. Because Women Are Very Focused On Health Care And Education And On The Family. So If You Help A Woman, You Help The Family, You Help The Village, You Help The Country. And So Empowering Women Is A Very Important Part Of Moving, Not Just Women Forward, But The Economy Of The Nation Forward. Particularly In Very Substandard Nations.

I Think In A Society Where You Can't Even Pass The Equal Rights Amendment, It's Very Difficult To Women Make A Progress. Incidentally, We Are Exactly 160 Years After The Very First Women's Public Rights Convention In Seneca Falls, New York, When A Handful Of Women Started It All And Began The Movement To Make Women Equal.

We Cannot Ensure That Women Will Be Free Of Discrimination In The Workplace And Everywhere As Long As Women Are Not Universally Defended Under Our Constitution. As It Stands Now, The Equal Rights Of Women Are Subject To Interpretation Of Law. That Is A Risk Our Mothers, Sisters And Daughters Cannot Afford.

You See We're A Country That Talks About Family Values. But We Haven't Passed Anything To Help Family Values Since The Family And Medical Leave Act. And The Family And Medical Leave Act Was One Of The First Things I Voted On When I Came To Congress. It Was Very Thrilling To Me, Because When My First Child Was Born, I Was Terrified Of Being Fired. When My Second Child Was Born, I Was A Member Of The City Council, And In Some Ways It Was Easier To Respond To 250 Constituents Than It Was To Respond To One Employer.

I Believe The Person Who Was Out Conquering The World, Who Was Out Fighting In The World Were Our Fathers, So To Have Them Come... I Adored My Father More Than Anyone In The World, But My Father Had More Advice On Work Policies And How To Get A Job And How To Survive In The Work Environment Than My Mother Because My Mother Never Worked Outside Of The Home. So I Think The Support Of Fathers Is Very Important.
