About this Quote

This quote by Helen Reddy speaks with the increased autonomy and agency that women have today. Females are no longer anticipated to merely accept marriage as an offered part of their lives, but rather are able to make their own choices about whether or not marriage is right for them. Females today have the freedom to select how they wish to live their lives, and marital relationship is no longer viewed as a necessary part of life. Women are now able to make decisions about their lives based upon their own desires and goals, instead of being expected to conform to social expectations. This quote talks to the progress that has actually been made in regards to ladies's rights and autonomy, and the importance of allowing ladies to make their own choices about their lives.
