De 14 kloekste uitspraken van vrouwen in 2016

'I know we have still not shattered that highest and hardest glass ceiling, but someday, someone will—and hopefully sooner than we might think right now. And to all of the little girls who are watching this, never doubt that you are valuable and powerful and deserving of every chance and opportunity in the world to pursue and achieve your own dreams.' — Hillary Clinton blijft optimistisch in haar concession speech. 

'[Barack and I] explain that when someone is cruel, or acts like a bully, you don't stoop to their level. No, our motto is, when they go low, we go high.'— Michelle Obama geeft een emotionele toespraak tijdens de opening van het Democratic National Convention.

'Women have been so oppressed for so long, they believe what men have to say about them...As women, we have to start appreciating our own worth and each other's worth.' — Madonna neemt met deze woorden haar titel als Woman of the Year tijdens de Billboard Women in Music Awards in ontvangst. 

'We have the opportunity to contribute to a society where any girl can look at a billboard or magazine cover and see her own reflection...You have the power to change perception, to inspire and empower, and to show people how to embrace their complications, and see the flaws, and the true beauty and strength that's inside all of us.' — Beyoncé ontvangt haar Fashion Icon Award tijdens het CFDA. 

'The university experience must tell women that their brain power is valued, and not just that, but that they belong among the leadership of the university itself.' — Emma Watson in een wederom geweldige speech bij de VN. 

'A lot of people think 'If this undocumented immigrant gets a job they're taking it from me.' Or 'If this transgender person is able to have equal rights and access then they're taking something from me.' It's a scarcity narrative. If we can move from scarcity to abundance in our rhetoric, that will allow us to begin to believe that there's enough to go around. We can live in this world together because there is enough to go around.' — Laverne Cox tijdens de Marie Claires Young Women's Honors.
