"It is very hard to be a female leader. While it is assumed that any man, no matter how tough, has a soft side... and female leader is assumed to be one-dimensional"

This quote by Billie Jean King talks to the double requirement that exists for female leaders. It is tough to be a female leader because there is an assumption that a male, no matter how difficult, has a softer side, while a female leader is presumed to be one-dimensional. This indicates that a female must be strong and tough all the time, which she can not show any vulnerability. This is an unjust expectation, as all individuals have a variety of feelings and experiences. It is also an injustice to female leaders, as it suggests that they are not efficient in being both strong and vulnerable. This quote speaks to the need for society to recognize and accept the full series of feelings and experiences of female leaders, and to recognize that they are simply as efficient in leading as males.
