Emma Bonino

“A woman must combine the role of mother, wife and politician.”

“My mother's studies stopped with the third year of primary school, my father with the first. They taught me a deep sense of duty. But nobody was involved in politics in my family.”

“I was on leave from local and regional politics, as long as I was a Minister.”

“I am positive that flexibility is a feminine characteristic.”

“Women are clear-headed, they are more creative and for this reason, sometimes, also more fragile.”
