1. Introduction – Thoughts on Women's Strength
- "Feminism is not about making women stronger. Women are already strong. It's about changing the way the world perceives that strength."
- "The story of women's struggle for equality belongs to no single feminist nor to any one organisation but to the collective efforts of all who care about human rights."
- "You educate a man; you educate a man. You educate a woman; you educate a generation."
- Mahatma Gandhi: "To call woman the weaker sex is a libel; it is man's injustice to woman."
