Summary

This quote highlights the unfortunate reality that women only seem to receive attention or recognition when they enter typically male-dominated spaces or activities. It suggests that this attention is not proportionate or equitable, as it implies that women's achievements are not valued or acknowledged until they are able to navigate their way into male-dominated arenas. This quote speaks to the need for greater gender equality and the recognition of women's accomplishments in all areas, rather than solely focusing on their achievements within male-dominated fields.
