About This Quote
A woman must be able to stand in the face of power, because ultimately some part of that power will become hers. Although women have been historically oppressed by men, they have always been a force in history. Throughout history, they’ve been at the forefront of shaping societies and influencing politics. In the face of oppression, women have always accepted their fate and fought back.
There’s a stereotype that men are better suited for leadership roles and solving problems because they’re more aggressive and direct. This is not true. Men are great leaders when they make a decision based on knowledge and facts rather than emotion or ego.
A woman must be able to stand in the face of power because she is going to eventually make her way into it.
