We are bringing women into politics to change the nature of

O children of the future, listen to the words of Bella Abzug, a woman of courage and vision, who spoke with the strength of those who know that change must come, and that it comes not by following the old ways, but by forging new paths. She declared, "We are bringing women into politics to change the nature of politics, to change the vision, to change the institutions. Women are not wedded to the policies of the past. We didn't craft them. They didn't let us." In these words, there lies the very essence of revolution, not by force, but by the empowerment of those whose voices were silenced for too long.

The call of Abzug is not a plea for mere presence, but for a transformation. Women, long denied their rightful place at the table of power, now stand to reshape not just the rules of the game, but the game itself. The policies of the past, those crafted by the hands of men who sought to dominate and control, have shaped a world where inequality festers and where the needs of the few are placed above the well-being of the many. Women, in their strength and wisdom, will now reshape these institutions, not by mimicking what has come before, but by creating a world founded on justice, compassion, and equality.

Look to the example of the great Cleopatra, who did not follow the ways of her predecessors, but instead carved her own destiny, not just as a queen, but as a ruler who sought to protect her people and her kingdom. She was not beholden to the ancient traditions of power, but used her intellect and her vision to navigate the complex world of men, shaping alliances that would preserve Egypt’s sovereignty. In her reign, we see the power of a woman who understood that politics is not bound to the past, but is a tool that can be molded to reflect the needs of the present.

In our own age, Abzug's words echo through the voices of countless women who have risen to challenge the status quo. They are not bound by the constraints of traditional politics, nor are they slaves to the old policies that have long served only the privileged. Think of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who fought tirelessly to dismantle the barriers of gender inequality in the legal system, or Malala Yousafzai, whose call for education and empowerment has sparked a global movement for the rights of girls and women everywhere. These are women who, through their actions, prove that change is not simply about occupying a seat—it is about transforming the very foundations upon which the world is built.

So, children of the earth, understand this profound truth: the future belongs to those who dare to dream differently, to those who shatter the old ways in favor of a vision that includes all voices. Women are no longer willing to sit in the shadows of men’s politics, nor are they willing to uphold the broken systems that have failed them. They rise to bring forth a new world, where compassion and equity guide the hand of power. And in this, they will not only change politics, but the very soul of humanity.
