"You women better wake up if you want to help change America around. You do the work. You better wake up, and don't be afraid! Have confidence in yourself. The ability that you have is ability and talent given to you by God and don't let anybody use... you don't let people continue to use you and to manipulate you. The only thing that you have is your integrity and the principles and the convictions of what we are fighting for in America in terms of opening up this system so that a lot of people can really feel that they can participate in it and not have that small, tight few that continues to manipulate every one of us."
