Carolyn Maloney (Carolyn Bosher Maloney) Quotes
We have not ratified The Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Discrimination Among Women. I think 194 countries have signed onto it, but the United States has not.

I think we should pass the women's equality amendment and a lot of these other fights would go away.
