If the shoe doesn't fit, must we change the foot?

Summary

This quote by Gloria Steinem challenges the notion of conformity and instead encourages embracing one's uniqueness. It suggests that if something in our lives, represented by the shoe, is not a good fit or does not align with who we are (the foot), we shouldn't feel compelled to change ourselves to fit into that mold. Instead, the quote invites us to question and reject societal pressures that may require reshaping ourselves, and to celebrate our individuality and the diverse ways in which we exist.
