“We stand on the shoulders of all the women who came before us. I marvel at the thousands of years of women working in any way they could, to have a say, to make a small change, to stamp their otherwise ignored, forgotten or erased presence on this world, be it a tiny whisper, or a huge and deafening roar across time. It's our duty to carry on that legacy and fight for those who are still not heard. Women of Gold lifts women up so that their stories can be heard too, now and into the future.”
