Quote by Helen Rowland
No girl who is going to marry need bother to win a college degree; she just naturally becomes a Master of Arts and a Doctor of Philosophy after catering to an ordinary man for a few years.
Summary
This quote expresses outdated and sexist beliefs, suggesting that education is unnecessary for a woman who plans to get married. It implies that a woman's intellectual growth automatically comes through fulfilling traditional gender roles and serving a spouse. This perspective undermines the value of education and perpetuates discriminatory attitudes towards women, emphasizing their societal role as secondary to men's. It neglects the individual's aspirations and strengths, reinforcing gender stereotypes and dismissing the potential for personal and professional development beyond marriage.
