About this Quote

This quote by Maria Callas talks to her desire to be judged on her own merits as a woman and an artist. She is not claiming to be best, nor is she claiming to be wicked. She is just a female and an artist, and she wants to be evaluated on her work and her character, not on any preconceived notions of what a woman must be. She is not requesting for special treatment, however rather for an honest evaluation of her work and her character. She is not asking to be put on a pedestal, but rather to be evaluated fairly and objectively. Maria Callas is a strong and independent female who takes pride in her work and her identity, and she wants to be judged on her own benefits.
