EducationThe business of education is not
to make the pupil perfect in any [one] of the sciences, but so to open and dispose
their minds as may best make them capable of [mstering] any [of them], when they shall apply
themselves to it. The great end of education is to
discipline rather than furnish the mind; to train it to the use of its own
powers, rather than fill it with the accumulation of others.
Without knowledge the world is
bereft of culture. And so we must be educators and students both. |
EmancipationFeminism is based on social
justice, for it claims but the equality of rights and of possibility between
men and women. Women should have economic security on a basis of equality with men. No woman can be free so long as she is economically dependent upon a man no matter how kind or generous that man my be. Gertrude Telford The women who have achieved
success in the various fields of labour have won the victory for us, but unless
we all follow up and press onward the advantage will be lost. Yesterdays
successes will not do for today! |

LeadershipWomen's literacy and education are
key to empowering women's participation in decision making in society and to
improving families well-being. We still think of a powerful man
as a born leader and a powerful woman as an anomaly. Building equality is lots of
mortar and once in a while a brick is put in place with lots more mortar. It is
a lot of work and it takes time. |
