About This Quote

This quote from the Wicked Witch of the West, from The Wizard of Oz, shows that a woman's role is not just to be a wife and mother. Women have a lot more to offer than that. While women can be helpful and supportive, they can also be extremely helpful and supportive. If a woman is interested in a man, she should use her feminine wiles to make him see how much he would benefit from her help and support. He will be more receptive when he sees how much she is willing to go out on a limb for him.
