More quotes by Madeleine M. Kunin
'Power' is an explosive word, particularly when applied to women.
Madeleine M. Kunin
Common wisdom dictates that the vice president should provide balance to the ticket by representing a different part of the country, another set of experiences, or a basketful of electoral votes.
Madeleine M. Kunin
It's time to recognize what compromise means: no side wins or loses all.
Madeleine M. Kunin
One is responsible for one's own life. Passivity provides no protection.
Madeleine M. Kunin
We continue to blame the poor for their own condition. They are lazy. We do not want to know that the poorest of the poor are toddlers under three years of age.
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
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
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
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
If being a woman is a factor politically, it's usually not because of a conscious bias, but because women are a novelty.
Madeleine M. Kunin
If we are to create a new agenda for family/work policies, employers and employees have to take a seat at the same table and recognize their mutual gains.
Madeleine M. Kunin
There are no more excuses for leaving women out of the inner circles of power. Qualified women are everywhere. Women are ready for leadership they just need to be identified and asked.
Madeleine M. Kunin
Contradictory as it seems, malnutrition is a key contributor to obesity.
Madeleine M. Kunin
Every time a woman leaves the workforce because she can't find or afford childcare, or she can't work out a flexible arrangement with her boss, or she has no paid maternity leave, her family's income falls down a notch. Simultaneously, national productivity numbers decline.
Madeleine M. Kunin
Inaction, contrary to its reputation for being a refuge, is neither safe nor comfortable.
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
Any smart executive understands that to find the best talent she has to explore new territory that lies beyond familiar geography. That applies not only to gender, but also to race, religion, background and age.
Madeleine M. Kunin
There are not many female role models to guide voters, and the tradition that a Southern woman's place is in the home still lingers in some quarters.
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
