Gifts of Speech: Women's Speeches from Around the World, Gifts of Speech promotes the idea that "women's voices change the world." The website, dedicated to free access and to preserving "speeches by inspirational, influential, and contemporary women from around the world," is a nonprofit initiative sponsored by Sweet Briar College. Examples of eloquent speeches range from mid-19th-century Sojourner Truth's "Ain't I a Woman?" address to the 1851 Women's Convention to 21st-century Herta Müller's 2009 Nobel Prize lecture, "Every Word Knows Something of a Vicious Circle." Other comparable websites providing access to speeches either require a fee or are less comprehensive. Gifts of Speech is a much-needed, uniquely efficient, and praiseworthy website.
