“We share concerns about the energy sector, the economy, the environment, our social programs, and about how Canada is experienced by the rest of the world… the more we talked, the more we started asking, "I wonder how other women are feeling? I wonder what they’re thinking?”
— Dr. Lucy Miller, Canada Powered by Women founding member
