Summary

This quote highlights the historical discrepancy between the perception of women as queens, synonymous with power and respect, and the reality in which women have been confined to limited roles and opportunities. It signifies that the title of "queen" is essentially empty and symbolic, as it fails to grant women true authority or autonomy over their lives. By emphasizing the disparity between the lofty reputation of women and their actual status, the quote challenges the traditional gender norms and calls for a more equitable society.

Even religious people are vulnerable to this longing. Those who belong to communities of faith have acquired a certain patience with what is sometimes called organized religion. They have learned to forgive themselves. They do not expect their institutions to stand in for God, and they are happy to use inherited maps for some of life's journeys. They do not need to walk off every cliff all by themselves. Yet they too can harbor the sense that there is more to life that they are being shown. Where is the secret hidden? Who has the key to the treasure box of More?
