"Il n'y aura jamais une égalité complète tant que les femmes elles-mêmes n'aideront pas à faire les lois et à élire les législateurs."
— Susan B. Anthony
Simplified Meaning:
Equality between men and women can't be fully achieved unless women are actively involved in creating and voting for the rules that govern everyone. Imagine a game where only one team makes the rules; it's likely those rules will favor that team. This is similar to how laws work; if only men make the laws, those laws might not address women's needs and concerns properly. For instance, consider the fight for women's voting rights in history. Women had to campaign and demand the right to vote because without it, they had no say in how the country was run or how laws affected their lives. By participating in lawmaking, women ensure that their perspectives and needs are considered, leading to fairer and more balanced laws. So, for genuine equality, women need to take an active role in politics and legal decisions.
