Summary

This quote suggests that the oppression and subjugation of women as a form of slavery is a consequence of the overall societal structure in which men themselves were enslaved to ruling monarchs. It implies that the origin of women's oppression is rooted in a broader system of inequality and power imbalance. By highlighting the connection between political slavery and the subsequent subjugation of women, the quote argues that true freedom can only be achieved when both men and women are liberated from oppressive systems.
