“No man is good enough to govern any woman without her consent”
— Susan B. Anthony
Simplified Meaning:
No one has the right to control or lead a woman without her approval. Think about a team working on a project: one person can't just take over and make all the decisions without talking to the group and getting their agreement. It's important for everyone to have a say and be part of the decision-making process, including women. If one person tries to run things without listening, it’s unfair and can lead to problems and resentment. By ensuring everyone, including women, agrees and is respected, the team—or in this case, society—works much better and everyone feels valued. This can be applied in everyday life by always seeking and respecting women's opinions and decisions before making choices that affect them.
