The First Lady: Oh, my goodness. I love you all.

This is an exciting, exciting day -- exciting.

We had a fabulous morning at the State Department.

And I hope you all are having just a lot of

We are just honored and delighted to have you here to

celebrate International Women's Day and Women's History Month

I have to start by thanking Aissatou for that beautiful,

beautiful introduction and for all her hard work.

We have to give her another round of applause.

And also Shannon for her inspiring way of being,

and for introducing our choir and for her

So let's give her a round of applause as well.

And I got to hear a little bit of that fabulous choir,

We have to thank them for that inspirational

And I know that we have so many wonderful people here.

We have some members of Congress who are here -- I see some faces

And I want to thank all of you for all the work that you do,

the leadership that you provide, the time that you have taken out

in your lives to fight for the issues that mean so much,

not just for women and girls here in this country but around

And finally, I want to recognize all of the extraordinary women

who are gathered here tonight, because there are so many

sprinkled about, including our wonderful Women of Courage Award

recipients, all of whom I got to spend time with earlier today.

These are women who work tirelessly, all of you,

every day, to make not just countries more fair,

more equal and more free, but often many of these women risk

themselves and their families to get this work done.

We have young women here like Shannon and Aissatou who are

serving as peacemakers and ambassadors and community

leaders here in America and around the world.

And I see so many activists and advocates,

pioneers who have devoted their careers to improving

And tonight, I just want to say to all of you that your

journeys, that your achievements and your very presence in this

room are a perfect illustration of the progress that we've made

since this day was first celebrated 100 years ago.

And we are celebrating those accomplishments here in America.

We make up nearly half of America's workforce.

Women are thriving in every sector of our society.

We're serving at the highest levels of government and the

We're breaking barriers and succeeding in careers that our

mothers and grandmothers never could have imagined.

And as more opportunities have become open to women,

As we all know, it's enriched the life of this nation.

And that's one of the reasons why we have to do this,

because we need to remind ourselves and our country

Because we as a nation benefit from every girl whose potential

is fulfilled; from every woman whose talent is tapped.

We as a nation benefit from their intelligence,

from their hard work, from their creativity,

And that's not just true here in America.

Time and again, we have seen that countries across the globe

are more prosperous, they're more peaceful when women are

more equal and have the rights and opportunities they deserve.

And that is why women and girls are a core focus of America's

engagement with the world, including our diplomatic

and development work, and our work to prevent

And that's why here at home we continue our work to close the

pay gap once and for all, to get that done.

That's why we continue our work here at home to bring women into
