Quotations

"But heads of mission who also happen to be women are role models; and the judgments made about our effectiveness reflect not only on our countries but on women in general. There exists an extra dimension to our experience – at least until there are many more of us in places that count." (The Interpreter, May 20, 2009; photo WW Guide to Women in Leadership)
