About this Quote

This quote by Jane Addams talks to the concept that women have often been kept back by outdated ways of thinking and traditional gender roles. She is recommending that these old-fashioned methods of believing no longer use to the changing conditions of society, which ladies need to not be held back by them. Rather, she encourages ladies to break devoid of these out-of-date concepts and benefit from the brand-new opportunities offered to them. She cautions that if females continue to be held back by these old-fashioned methods, they will end up being caught in a cycle of inequality and oppression. By recognizing the altering conditions of society, females can take advantage of the new opportunities offered to them and break free from the out-of-date methods of believing that have actually held them back for so long.
