Closing points
Gender equality is more than a goal in
itself. It is a precondition for meeting
the challenge of reducing poverty,
promoting sustainable development and
building good governance. (Kofi Annan )
Real education should educate us out
of self into something far finer--into a
selflessness which links us with all
humanity.
My Two Countries (1923) by Nancy Astor, American/British politician, 1879-1964;
first woman to sit in British House of Commons; Lord Mayor of Plymouth; leader of
women's and children's rights
