Summary

This quote suggests that maturity and experience have a profound effect on a woman's behavior. A young woman who is advanced, meaning she is knowledgeable or progressive, can be shaped and influenced over time with the challenges and hardships she faces. However, once a woman reaches old age, her advanced nature becomes deeply ingrained and she becomes independent and untamed. No external force or persuasion can have control over her choices or actions. This highlights the idea that older women possess a sense of freedom and wisdom that is unassailable.
