3. To call woman the weaker sex is a libel; it
is man's injustice to woman. If by strength
is meant brute strength, then, indeed, is
woman less brute than man. If by strength
is meant moral power, then woman is
immeasurably man's superior. Has she
not greater intuition, is she not more self-
sacrificing, has she not greater powers of
endurance, has she not greater courage?
Without her, man could not be. If
nonviolence is the law of our being, the
future is with woman. Who can make a
more effective appeal to the heart than
woman? (Mahatma Gandhi)

called ‘ women empowerment’.
