About This Quote
Women have been portrayed in a number of different ways throughout history. In the modern day, they are often portrayed as “Empresses” or “Queen Bees.” In the Victorian Era, however, women were viewed as being very fragile and easily influenced by others. The idea that a woman should keep her true self hidden from public view was a big part of the Victorian vision of the role of women in society. This quote is a clever take on what it means to be a woman today.
