Ronald Reagan,
Proclamation 5079
“ Since that important milestone in the history of the United States, women have used the ballot just as they have always used their energies and talents-to affect and improve our national life.When the great philosopher and historian Alexis de Tocqueville visited America, he took a long look at our way of life and wrote, "If I were asked .... to what the singular prosperity and growing strength of that people ought mainly to be attributed, I should reply: To the superiority of their women." ”
