About this Quote

This quote by Clare Boothe Luce is a commentary on the gender inequality that exists in politics. It implies that ladies are often relegated to the background, doing the dirty work while men enjoy the benefits. Ladies are expected to do the administrative tasks such as typing letters, licking stamps, and distributing handouts, while men are the ones who get chosen. This quote highlights the lack of representation of women in politics and the need for more female leaders. It likewise acts as a pointer that ladies must be provided the same chances as males to run for workplace and be chosen. Females must not be limited to the functions of secretaries and assistants, but must be given the chance to lead and make a distinction in their neighborhoods. This quote is a call to action for females to take a stand and defend their rights to be represented in politics.
