Quote by Anne Roiphe
We also have to make sure our children know the history of women. Tell them the rotten truth: It wasn't always possible for women to become doctors or managers or insurance people. Let them be armed with a true picture of the way we want it to be.
Summary
This quote emphasizes the importance of educating children about the historical struggles and limitations faced by women in achieving equal opportunities. It advocates for presenting an honest account of how women were historically excluded from professions like medicine, management, and insurance, in order to paint a realistic picture of the progress that has been made towards gender equality. By arming children with this knowledge, we can inspire their commitment to work towards a future where women have equal opportunities and empower them to actively participate in shaping that future.
