Hannah WittonMe as a woman liking myself, is an act of social defiance!
About This Quote
This quote is attributed to the late actress, Lillian Gish. She said, “Me as a woman liking myself, is an act of social defiance!” If women like themselves, society has a problem. Society likes to look down on women and think that they are inferior to men. Society has told women that they need to be looked at as the inferior sex and the only way they can get ahead is by doing what men do. But Lillian Gish proved this wrong because she was a self-confident woman who liked herself and she didn’t care what other people thought.
