2. • It was less than a hundred years ago that
women world-wide were just beginning to
persuade men, (and perhaps even
themselves), that they were more than merely
a domestic commodity, a piece of
property, and a birthing machine.
• Seriously . . . No woman anywhere in the
world had any rights.
3. • In fact, it was only in 1917 that
women in Canada (where I am from)
were first even considered “a
person”?
4. • Canada led the way for many other
countries around the world, including the
United States in 1920, to grant suffrage
to women—the opportunity to vote and
run for office.
• Many countries did not follow suit until
the 1940’s and 50’s, with many still
keeping women in oppression today.
6. • Women had to fight for their rights and
freedom. (And there are still many countries
where women still have absolutely no rights.
Not even to show their ankles!)
7. • Men have always had the right to
“life, liberty, and the pursuit of
happiness.”
• Men are born a Mr. and die a Mr.
8. • Women today are still born a Miss and
then become identified by their marital
status: Mrs. or Ms.
• We woman simply haven’t been
empowered.
9. • Many of us are still trying to find our
voice, our purpose, and our passion. We still
aren’t exactly sure what to do and how to do
it. (In fact, we still aren’t paid the same
amount for the same job that a man does!)
10. • We—you and me—are literally the
first or second generation, in the
entire legacy of women who came
before us, who’ve had real rights!
11. • The SWAT Institute is the next era in the
movement for women’s equality and
liberation. We are not anti-man!
• We are women empowering women;
teaching others how to step into their
greatness and to catch up with men.
12. • We aren’t looking to run the show, be the
boss, or force anyone’s hand. We merely
want to find our own place, use our own
talents, and make the world a better
place, one special valuable worthy
woman at a time.
13. • Dr. James Emmanuel Kwegyir-Aggrey (1875-
1927), one of this century’s greatest educators
said that:
• “If you educate a man you educate an
individual, but if you educate a woman you
educate a nation.”
14. And “that” is why The SWAT Institute
is for Women ONLY!
