Jane Fonda Girl Quotations

I finally got it: empower girls and everything changes.

When I say women are the agents of change, I really should say women and girls.

If you can intervene early in the lives of girls here and in other parts of the world, you can begin to change the prospects for the future.

Teach girls to read and to work at something where they can bring home money - and the entire balance of power shifts.

Adult women, all of us, have to come to grips with how we have been affected by gender norms, and how we have been silenced. We have to help our daughters. Understanding it within ourselves and helping our young girls stand up for themselves is one way.

We can no longer waste time and money. Every day, more than 2,000 girls in America, age 15-19, give birth - in the wealthiest, most educated nation in the world! Neither you nor I should accept this statistic.

The reality is sobering: in the United States one in three girls will become pregnant before age 20, totaling more than 750,000 girls per year.

I wasn't pretty enough to be the pretty girl and I wasn't unattract­ive enough to be the dorky girl.
