Summary

This quote highlights the frustration and limitations experienced by women in a patriarchal society. It argues that women are denied the opportunities to fully develop and express their talents and potential due to their gender. It emphasizes the disparity in opportunities between men and women, suggesting that even if a woman possesses remarkable abilities, societal constraints and expectations confine her to a subordinate position. In merely attempting, but never truly comprehending, the challenges faced by women, it exposes the inequality inherent in denying women the same freedoms as men.

A billion more each came from Buddha and Genghis Khan and Beethoven, and any other historical figure you care to name.
