Economic Empowerment

Famous quotes containing the words economic and/or empowerment:

“Society’s double behavioral standard for women and for men is, in fact, a more effective deterrent than economic discrimination because it is more insidious, less tangible. Economic disadvantages involve ascertainable amounts, but the very nature of societal value judgments makes them harder to define, their effects harder to relate.”
—Anne Tucker (b. 1945)

“Power can be taken, but not given. The process of the taking is empowerment in itself.”
—Gloria Steinem (b. 1934)
