More quotes by Madeleine M. Kunin
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.
Madeleine M. Kunin
Babies are smart. They can tell the difference between a responsive face and a blank face, wiped clean of emotion.
Madeleine M. Kunin
It is the future, of course, which politicians grapple with, and that is why politics is so disorderly. Only history clears away some of the debris.
Madeleine M. Kunin
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.
Madeleine M. Kunin
When there is violence against any person in society, because he or she is different, it threatens us all. Only by speaking out are any of us safe.
Madeleine M. Kunin
It's time to recognize what compromise means: no side wins or loses all.
Madeleine M. Kunin
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.

To equate a corporation with a person is a travesty of justice.
Madeleine M. Kunin
Our right to disagree is precious but fragile. The best way to protect and preserve it is to let the other side speak without demonizing them or destroying their right to be heard. Such civil exchanges are the heart beat of democracy - essential to keeping it alive.
Madeleine M. Kunin
Money often determines not only who gets elected, but what gets done. Which voices do lawmakers listen to, the banks or home owners, coal companies, or asthma sufferers, the CEOs or the unemployed?
Madeleine M. Kunin
A desire to succeed in politics is propelled by these two seemingly contradictory forces, which frequently change places and sometimes coexist: to save others and to save oneself.
Madeleine M. Kunin
Early childhood education begins early, even before birth.
Madeleine M. Kunin
We see the world through the lens of all our experiences that is a fundamental part of the human condition.
Madeleine M. Kunin
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.
Madeleine M. Kunin
Contradictory as it seems, malnutrition is a key contributor to obesity.
Madeleine M. Kunin
When we mention the 1 percent and the 99 percent, everybody now knows what we are talking about. It's part of our vocabulary. How quickly these numbers jumped from the sidelines to the center.
Madeleine M. Kunin
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.
Madeleine M. Kunin
Inaction, contrary to its reputation for being a refuge, is neither safe nor comfortable.
Madeleine M. Kunin
If being a woman is a factor politically, it's usually not because of a conscious bias, but because women are a novelty.
