So we all do our work for very different reasons. I will tell you that I am the daughter of an incredibly amazing woman who taught me I could be anything that my three older brothers could be. I am now a mother of two amazing daughters, who are incredibly independent, and a very well-trained and sensitized teenage son.

(Laughter)

We need more of those.

(Applause)

And often it’s my vision of Mrs. Carter’s picture that is sitting on her desk reminding me that for 40 years she looked at that picture, and she knew that that was work that still needed to be done. Or, of course, it could be the fact that President Carter, who is 99 and still cares deeply about this issue, when he was 89, at the spry age of 89, he wrote a book on women's issues and human rights, and he gave a talk at TEDWomen.
