Quote by Eleanor Roosevelt

A woman is like a tea bag - you can't tell how strong she is until you put her in hot water.

A woman is like a tea bag - you can't tell how strong she is

Summary

This quote metaphorically compares a woman to a tea bag, signaling that her true strength is not apparent until she faces challenging or difficult situations (symbolized by hot water). Just as brewing tea brings out its flavor and intensity, adversity brings out a woman's resilience and determination. It suggests that underestimated or underestimated women possess unrecognizable strengths that can only be discovered when they are faced with tests or hardships in life.
