In the video, Madeline Albright states that women do better understanding others' issues (walking in their shoes)  and can also “tell it like it is” when necessary. She also states that many times women's issues such as education and healthcare need to be championed by women, both in the US and worldwide.  Lastly, she believes that the tone and goals of the conversation change with more women.
