There are no excuses this time. Now it's up to women to step up and lead ourselves and our sisters through the threshold.

Your vision, ideas and plans have the power to shape the future, but not if you keep them to yourself.

Women are in the midst of an unfinished revolution.

Women must commit to use our power-to on our own behalf so we can translate it into the power to help others and ourselves.

Share your stories of your worst moments as well as your best. Let your sisters know their problems are not unique and they are not alone.

Today's challenge for women: to value ourselves and demand that others do, too.

When women are economically empowered, the power balance changes in all areas of life.
