Quotations

"History tells us that women can be instrumental in creating a more equitable peacetime world, in redefining heroism, and in using fresh, creative, vital ideas to remold the intransigent institutions which have brought us war rather than conflict resolution." (Reversing the Nuclear Arms Race, p. 148; photo captivasanibel.com)
