In her speech, Arquette dedicated her Oscar to American women, and ended with a powerful call to action. “To every woman who gave birth to every citizen and taxpayer of this nation, we have fought for everybody else’s equal rights,” she said. “It’s our time to have wage equality once and for all and equal rights for women in the United States of America.”
