FIRST LADY HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON
SOUTHERN WOMEN IN PUBLIC SERVICE CONFERENCE
ATLANTA, GEORGIA
MAY 2, 1995
TALKING POINTS
[Acknowledgements: Former U.S. Representative Lindy Boggs;
Atlanta Mayor Bill Campbell; the former Senator John Stennis,
served 41 years, and recently passed away; the Stennis Center for
Public Service, sponsor of the conference; Stennis Center
Executive Director Rex Buffington; Georgia Steering Committee co-
chairs Georgenna Sinkfield and Kathy Ashe]
Thank you Lindy, for that generous introduction. I am
delighted to be here with you today. It is fitting that we
have come together for this conference this year, the 75th
anniversary of women's suffrage.
Women in the public sphere have come a long way. From
achieving the right to vote in 1920 to the success of women
candidates for public office in the Year of the Woman in
1992, women have changed the face of American politics and
public life forever. But there is still a long way to go.
The inclusion of women in public life over the past decades
has focused more attention on issues such as child care,
nutrition, education, health care, and the need to curb
violence. That is because women bring a unique perspective
to public service thanks to our life experiences and our
responsibilities as mothers, as professionals, and as
family caretakers.
It does not matter what party we belong to, or what
ideology we espouse. It is fair to say that most women are
deeply concerned about the role of family in our society,
the importance of community, and creating a climate in
which compassion and fairness come before intolerance and
exclusion.
I've discovered from my trip to South Asia, in which I
talked about many of these issues, that some people view
them as "soft", or tangential. But I think so-called
"women's issues" are central to our nation's agenda and to
the world's future.
I hope we can all come together as women committed to our
country and its future and help engender a climate of
public service in which facts, rather than emotion or
ideology, dictate the decisions we make.
