Women's battle for financial equality has barely been joined, much less won. Society still traditionally assigns to woman the role of money-handler rather than money-maker, and our assigned specialty is far more likely to be home economics than financial economics.

Summary

This quote suggests that women are still far from achieving financial equality. Society tends to only see women in the traditional role of managing household finances rather than being capable of earning money. The quote also implies that women are often confined to being experts in managing domestic finances (home economics) rather than in-depth understanding of financial economics. Overall, the message conveyed is that there is a significant need for women to challenge these traditional gender roles and fight for equal opportunities and recognition in the field of finance.
