Quote of the Day

I remember being riveted as a little girl whenever a woman appeared in our history lessons: Abigail Adams, Sojourner Truth, Ida Tarbell, Amelia Earhart.  Even if it just amounted to a sentence in a dusty book -- and often that's all they got -- it thrilled me.  The great men in our history books thrilled me too, but it meant something different, something quietly momentous, to learn that a women had done something important.  It opened the world up a little more.  It made me dream a little bigger.

-- Hillary Rodham Clinton, What Happened, p. 142
