About This Quote
The analogy of gold testing women is used to illustrate the practice of testing something's quality by putting it through a vigorous trial. This is used to test the strength of the metal, its integrity, and its ability to withstand wear and tear. The men are all being tested with fire. Women are being tested with gold, which is an apt comparison for some women because it is usually alloyed with silver or copper. Test means to subject something to a trial or test, so this metaphor is about how the quality of people are being tested by being put through trials by men.
