Madeleine M Kunin Quotes

Children refuse to compromise. Adults learn how Picture Quote #1

The United States is no longer first in the world in upward mobility. We can reverse that trend by giving our young children an equal start in life as they begin their journey to fulfill the American Dream Picture Quote #1

If being a woman is a factor politically, it’s usually not because of a conscious bias, but because women are a novelty Picture Quote #1

The first thousand days of a baby’s life are likely to determine the rest of her life - whether she grows up to be healthy or not, both physically and emotionally Picture Quote #1

I hadn’t thought that women were particularly dangerous golfers. Could that be the reason that the Augusta National Golf club refuses to take down its ‘No Women Allowed’ sign? Picture Quote #1

When people have lost their jobs or are afraid of losing their jobs in the future, they lash out. They want others to know about their fears, their pain Picture Quote #1

Women need to see ourselves as individuals capable of creating change. That is what political and economic power is all about: having a voice, being able to shape the future. Women’s absence from decision-making positions has deprived the country of a necessary perspective Picture Quote #1

Volunteer activities can foster enormous leadership skills. The nonprofit professional volunteer world is a laboratory for self - realization Picture Quote #1

Why are video games so violent? The ones I’ve seen remind me of the 4th of July, with everything exploding, buildings, cars, airplanes, men and women. Kill, kill, and kill for sport and entertainment Picture Quote #1

Video games seem to be mostly a boy thing - viewed by young boys and created by big boys. I believe that if more videos games were created by women, the violence in these games - especially against women - would be rapidly toned down Picture Quote #1

The very qualities that make it harder for women to get elected - not being part of the old boy’s network - gives them the advantage of having fresh, and yes, clean faces Picture Quote #1

Most female CEOs have been more understanding than their male counterparts, of the stress that new mothers experience to ‘do it all,’ which often means, ‘all by themselves.’ Why? They’ve been there. They understand the policies needed to keep women in the workforce Picture Quote #1

Legislative proposals that would enable an employer to determine whether or not a woman’s insurance would cover the cost of birth control strikes women as particularly bizarre. Is the boss going to take care of the children that are conceived accidentally? Stop treating us like children. Women are grown ups Picture Quote #1

‘Job Killer.’ Those are the two words you are most likely to hear uttered by most American CEOs when confronted with proposals to enact family-friendly work policies Picture Quote #1

Every time a woman leaves the workforce because she can’t find or afford childcare, or she can’t work out a flexible arrangement with her boss, or she has no paid maternity leave, her family’s income falls down a notch. Simultaneously, national productivity numbers decline Picture Quote #1

Any smart executive understands that to find the best talent she has to explore new territory that lies beyond familiar geography. That applies not only to gender, but also to race, religion, background and age Picture Quote #1

To be political means to speak out, to risk being called ‘catty’, or worse. I don’t hear men worrying about whether they may be right or not. They enjoy the fight, whether it is with words or fists. Women still tend to shy away from controversy, to be uncomfortable with competition Picture Quote #1

The best antidote to poverty remains simple - a paycheck. Policies like paid family leave, workplace flexibility and affordable quality childcare can make the difference for two-parent or single-parent working families who struggle to make ends meet Picture Quote #1

Hugs are helpful, especially when women step out into a mostly male political world. Emotional support, at critical moments, enables women to stay in the race Picture Quote #1

The health benefits of paid sick days policies are obvious. They prevent the spread of disease. But the impact is wider. If a working mom or dad loses a job because of sickness, the family may slip into poverty Picture Quote #1

Working moms, and increasingly working dads, don’t want a government handout, but they do need a hand up Picture Quote #1

It is easy but inaccurate to label any legislation which makes it easier for working families to combine family and work responsibilities ‘job killers.’ Picture Quote #1

Fair treatment in the work force is no longer exclusively a labor issue, nor is it a women’s issue - it is a fundamental economic issue Picture Quote #1

Many women do not want to venture out into the ‘opinion world’ until they are certain of themselves, the facts, and that they are right. They are afraid of being shot down. The result is often silence Picture Quote #1

When women and men can shed an equal quantity of tears in public, that’s when we’ll have equal power Picture Quote #1

Compromise, contrary to popular opinion, does not mean selling out one’s principles. Compromise means working out differences to forge a solution which fits the diversity of the body politic Picture Quote #1

The death of a famous person is different from the death of a loved one, whether it is Michael Jackson, Frank McCourt, or Walter Cronkite. We didn’t know any of them personally, and yet, we experience a sense of loss Picture Quote #1

The Republican agenda is, and always has been, to repeal Roe v. Wade, and at the very least, erode it to the greatest extent possible Picture Quote #1

Why is computer science a good field for women? For one thing, that’s where the jobs are, and for another, the pay is better than for many jobs, and finally, it’s easier to combine career and family Picture Quote #1

As for a fantasy life, working women are more likely to fantasize about finding the perfect child care provider who she can both trust and afford. She might also fantasize that tonight her husband will both shop for and cook dinner Picture Quote #1
