"We need not just a new generation of leadership, but a new gender of leadership."

William J.Clinton, 42nd President, 1993-2001 Address before the Democratic Women's Caucus, July 15, 1992. It was a short address given just the day before Clinton accepted the Democratic nomination for President in New York. He said, in part, "I am the grandson of a working woman, the son of a single mother, the husband of a working wife...I am the father of a daughter who wants to build space stations in the sky." He vowed to support the feminist agenda, saying," We need not just a new generation of leadership, but a new gender of leadership."
