Pivotal Moment with Nikitta Foston
Society & Culture
"History is made by the people who have power," Dana Rubin told Pivotal Moment. "So much of our story is told by men and through men's voices."
But Rubin's book, “Speaking While Female: 75 Extraordinary Speeches by American Women," debunks the myth that men were the only powerful speakers in our country's history.
"Women in America have been speaking out for nearly four centuries," Rubin said. "And their speeches have contributed to the formation of the nation, even if they’ve been written out of the history books.”
According to Rubin, the anthology "charts the story of America as it unfolded through decades, showing that at every critical juncture, women were speaking. It's a long-needed corrective to the story we have always told ourselves about whose ideas and voices shaped the nation - a search for long-buried truths, a celebration and an inspiration."
But the historic collection is also a galvanizing tool, empowering women today to move beyond their fears of speaking to the power behind their voices.
"You don't have to be a speaker to use speaking skills in your daily life. Rather than run away from those opportunities, take advantage of them, find them and use them," Rubin said. "To use your voice is to lead. If we're not all contributing, how can we be heard?"
