Do not vote for Hillary [Clinton] because she is a woman. Ask yourself, who has done more for women so far and who will do more for women in the future - and then make your choice.

More quotes by Anne-Marie Slaughter
The societies that work build an infrastructure of care as well as an infrastructure of capitalism.
Anne-Marie Slaughter
Young men keep telling me they don't 'have it all' either. And they may have a point. But if you define 'having it all' as the opportunity to have a successful career and a family, I'd say this. When a man tells his coworkers he's going to have a child, no one asks him how he'll manage or if he'll be coming back to work.
Anne-Marie Slaughter
Having it all means having the same work and family choices that men do. It doesn't mean having everything that you want. No one has that.
Anne-Marie Slaughter
I very much admire Sheryl Sandberg for what she has done. I really do. But Sandberg's narrative also implies: Well, it's your fault if you couldn't make it. There is a certain injustice in that.
Anne-Marie Slaughter
Motherhood is a greater predictor of wage inequality than gender is. It's enormous.
Anne-Marie Slaughter
In foreign policy, even if you hold high office, you can't be sure what the effects will be of the things you do.
Anne-Marie Slaughter
Believe it or not, we will actually be better and happier workers if we are allowed to be better parents. We might even rediscover our capacity for fun.
Anne-Marie Slaughter
We all love narratives where we're the captain of our boat, and Americans love them more than anybody else.
Anne-Marie Slaughter
Biological sex should not determine what we are capable of, what we aspire to, what we do in our life.
Anne-Marie Slaughter
I am convinced that this country is ready to have a woman in the White House, but I also think there's still a lot of hidden sexism.
Anne-Marie Slaughter
In the end, no matter how much you love your work, your work will not love you back.
Anne-Marie Slaughter
I'm a child of the Cold War. You do not say, Oh, my God, there are Russian planes, so I'm going to cede the field. I mean, what kind of world would we have had if the United States had done that for 60 years?
Anne-Marie Slaughter
There's a tremendous loss of talent to businesses who cannot make room for their employees to attend to family responsibilities. It really amounts to corporate waste: They hire really talented women and then lose them because they can't find ways to keep them productive and content the minute they can't lean in.
Anne-Marie Slaughter
The American work environment has to change, not the women. We should be recognizing that what women are not fitting into is a very narrow, male-dominated workplace of the 1950s.
Anne-Marie Slaughter
When I used to teach civil procedure as a law professor, I would begin the year by telling my students that “civil procedure is the etiquette of ritualized battle.” The phrase, which did not originate with me, captured the point that peaceful, developed societies resolve disputes by law rather than by force.
Anne-Marie Slaughter
If we're going to have better choices for women, we've got to have better choices for men.
Anne-Marie Slaughter
Someone must transform income into the food, shelter, clothing, nurture, discipline, education, minding, nursing, transportation, and emotional support that creates life outside of the office, permits survival of the race, cares for the ill and disabled, and makes life livable when we can no longer care for ourselves.
Anne-Marie Slaughter
Patriotism demands the ability to feel shame as much as to feel pride.
Anne-Marie Slaughter
We should be proud of our country when we have done something to be proud of, when we have lived up to our own standards. But the flip side of genuine pride is being able to recognize when we have fallen short, and to hold ourselves to account.
Anne-Marie Slaughter
I am still fully committed to male-female equality.
Anne-Marie Slaughter
