About This Quote

Well-behaved women seldom make history. The statement that a well-behaved woman rarely makes history is a comment on the passivity of women. These women contribute little, if anything, to the world around them. In the last two centuries, there have been many struggles for equality between men and women.

In many cases, these struggles have been led by women who have been outspoken about their beliefs and the injustices they have endured. The idea that a well-behaved woman rarely makes history can be interpreted as a statement that quiet people rarely make history because they don’t do much to change the world around them.
