"My Administration is committed to tearing down the barriers—wherever they exist—that deny women equal opportunity."
"When women are given the opportunity to succeed, they do."
"On Women's Equality Day, we continue the righteous work of building a society where women thrive, where every door is open to them, and their every dream can be realized."
"When women and girls are free to pursue their own measure of happiness in all aspects of their lives, they strengthen our families, enrich our communities, and better our country."
