Quote by Barbara Cartland

A woman asking 'Am I good? Am I satisfied?' is extremely selfish. The less women fuss about themselves, the less they talk to other women, the more they try to please their husbands, the happier the marriage is going to be.

Summary

This quote promotes the idea that a woman's worth and happiness are solely dependent on her ability to please her husband and prioritize his needs over her own. It suggests that asking questions or seeking personal satisfaction is considered selfish, and that by focusing solely on being a dutiful wife, a woman can create a happier marriage. However, this viewpoint diminishes the importance of individual autonomy and personal fulfillment in a relationship, reinforcing gender roles and societal expectations that can be detrimental to women's empowerment.
