Among our people, theres not any question about women being strong -- even stronger than men -- they work in the fields right along with the men. When your survival is at stake, you dont have these questions about yourself like middle -- class women do.

Employers able to work together with workers and sharing gains and profits will lead to a much better world, getting away from income inequality.
