Quote by Agnes Macphail
I do not want to be the angel of any home: I want for myself what I want for other women, absolute equality. After that is secured, then men and women can take turns being angels.
Summary
This quote reflects a desire for gender equality rather than seeking to fulfill traditional gender roles. The speaker emphasizes that they do not wish to be the "angel of any home," suggesting they do not want to be confined by societal expectations of women as caretakers or nurturers. Instead, they advocate for absolute equality between men and women, wherein both genders can equally share and participate in the roles traditionally assigned to women. Once true equality is achieved, both men and women can then take turns being the caregivers or nurturers—thus challenging the ingrained gender norms and promoting a more balanced and equitable society.
