About this Quote

This quote by Elizabeth Cady Stanton speaks to the growing awareness among women of all classes of the significance of having the ability to support themselves financially. Nevertheless, she likewise acknowledges that lots of women are not happy to do the work that they can doing in order to attain this goal. This recommends that there is a disconnect in between the desire for financial independence and the willingness to put in the effort to make it occur. This might be due to a lack of confidence in their own capabilities, or a lack of access to the resources and chances that would enable them to pursue their goals. Stanton's words are a tip that women ought to be empowered to pursue their dreams and that they must not be restricted by social expectations or gender roles.
