I get daily quotes landing in my inbox and this precipitously landed an hour ago. The quote was originally made in the 1970s.

Wisdom for Modern Life by Daisaku Ikeda
I’ve suggested that the twenty-first be named the Century of Women. Women have the wisdom and strength to lead society in the direction of good, of hope and of peace. In expanding his own non-violence movement, Gandhi greatly relied on women. He said it is women who can teach pacific learning to a world that, while engaged in hostilities, nonetheless thirsts for the sweet dew of peace.
