A woman's sense of self and power should come not from the number of heads she can turn, but rather from the minds and hearts she can turn.

About This Quote

Women are often told to seek power through the number of men they can attract. I’m not saying that is wrong, but it is not the source of power. A woman’s sense of self and power should come not from the number of heads she can turn, but rather from the minds and hearts she can turn.
