About this Quote

This quote by Louisa May Alcott speaks to the inequality that women have actually faced throughout history. By referring to women as queens, Alcott is highlighting the reality that females have actually been viewed as powerful and influential figures, however the truth is that they have actually not been provided the same rights and advantages as guys. The kingdom given to them is not worth judgment due to the fact that it is not equal to the kingdom given to men. Women have actually been rejected basic rights such as the right to vote, the right to own property, and the right to pursue higher education. This quote is a tip that women have been dealt with as second-class people for far too long and that it is time for society to acknowledge and appreciate the power and potential of women.
