Giving women education, work, the ability to control their own income, inherit and own property, benefits the society. If a woman is empowered, her children and her family will be better off. If families prosper, the village prospers, and eventually so does the whole country. – Isabel Allende
If this world is going to be a better place for our grandchildren and great-grandchildren, it will be women who make it so. – Isabel Allende
