For our daughters and our granddaughters now the sky is the limit.? ??Nancy Pelosi, after being sworn in as Speaker of the House When Nancy Pelosi became the first woman Speaker of the House, she made history. She gavelled the House to order that day on behalf of all of America??s children and said, ??We have made history, now let us make progress.? Now she continues to inspire women everywhere in this thought-provoking collection of wise words??her own and those of the important people who played pivotal roles in her journey.

If women can learn from me, in the same way I learned from the women who came before me, it will make the honor of being Speaker of the House even more meaningful.?
