Books are a friend, books are an escape, books are a means to empowerment and books are a means to understanding yourself better and in a world around you. They are everything.
As women, we all face our own unique challenges, but we stand together on these steps today as a symbol of our determination and our commitment to progress.
It is my belief that there is a greater understanding than ever that women need to be equal participants in our homes, in our societies, in our governments, and in our workplaces.
