Ataturk Quote

“If henceforward the women do not share in the social life of the nation, we shall never attain to our full development. We shall remain irremediably backward, incapable of treating on equal terms with the civilizations of the West.” Kinross, Ataturk, The Rebirth of a Nation, p. 343.
