Geraldine Ferraro

“Some leaders are born women.”

“American history is about doors being opened, doors of opportunity for everyone, no matter who you are, as long as you're willing to earn it.”

“My name is Geraldine Ferraro. I stand before you to proclaim tonight: America is the land where dreams can come true for all of us.”

“If we can do this, we can do anything.”

“By choosing a woman to run for our nation's second highest office, you send a powerful signal to all Americans.”

“The promise of this country is that the rules are for everyone.”

“If you don't run, you can't win.”

“To those who say it was a mistake to choose a woman, let's win and make them eat their words.”

“It was not so long ago that people thought that semiconductors were part-time orchestra leaders and microchips were very small snack foods.”

“There are some who say a woman's place is in the house. I say, 'The House of Representatives.'”
