ADDIE GUTTAG: Hello. My name is Addie Guttag, and I'm a member of the board at the 92nd Street Y. It is my pleasure to welcome you to the sixth annual Goldberg lecture, which was endowed in memory of Monica Dennis Goldberg and provides an annual forum for women of achievement. It is hard to imagine a woman who has achieved more than our guest this evening, a woman who single-handedly has redefined the possibilities for women in American politics. That woman, of course, is Geraldine Ferraro. Introducing Gerry tonight […]

January 24, 2015
I thank you so much. It's so great to be back in Iowa. You know, we have great memories here of the many trips now that we've been blessed to take here. You know, of course, the '08 campaign. And then the even more fun Tea Party rally that we had in Indianola – that was fun. We've had…oh gosh…chowing down on fried everything at your state fair, of course. And then, one year, thinking that, a bit after the fair, I was going to work some of it off, […]

January 23, 2015
Since the HeForShe launch in New York last September, I think it would be fair to say that my colleagues and I have been stunned by the response. The HeForShe conference was watched over 11 million times sparking 1.2 billion social media conversations, culminating in the HeForShe hashtag becoming so popular that Twitter painted it on the walls of its headquarters and men from almost every country in the world signed up to our commitment. Everyone – from Desmond Tutu to Prince Harry to Hillary Clinton to Yoko Ono – […]

Remarks at CPAC 2015 - Feb. 26, 2015
February 26, 2015
Thank you. Oh wow, it's so nice to be in a friendly crowd here at CPAC. Unlike the current occupants of the White House, I believe that given the opportunity, the American people will rise to the occasion on their own. No nanny state, needed no big government mandate required. We're Americans and for over two hundred years, we've lended a hand and lifted the poor. We've lifted ourselves up and made sure that we gave opportunity to anyone that was in need. Given the opportunity, we help the neighbor, […]
