No kidding. I keep tearing up a little thinking about her. She was earnest but not naive. I want so much for her to keep her eyes and goals clear and unclouded by cynicism.

Young women like Naomi and Emma and Edna deserve every chance to live out their potential. They need unfettered access to education, fair treatment in the workplace and control over their own bodies.

They will make wonderful mothers if they so choose, and they will also lead the world forward during what I hope will be long and healthy lives.
