我们知道,如果有一定的规则制止大银行拿别人的钱去恶赌(掌声)——如果不允许保险公司在你最需要的时候取消你的保险资格或者对男女收费标准不一,我们的日子会过得更好。(掌声)确实,我们都知道,如果妇女在国家生活的方方面面都能得到公平与平等的对待——无论是你的薪金所得还是你所作的健康决定,我们的日子会过得更好。(掌声)

The question is whether together, we can muster the will -- in our own lives, in our common institutions, in our politics -- to bring about the changes we need. And I’m convinced your generation possesses that will. And I believe that the women of this generation -- that all of you will help lead the way. (Applause.)
