“Every woman is a rebel, and usually in wild revolt against the man who thinks himself her master.”
What this quote means
John Fowles highlights the intrinsic rebellion of every woman, especially against those who claim to be her master. This quote resonates in the context of the struggle for gender equality and emancipation. It reminds us that submission is not natural but imposed, and that revolt is a healthy response to oppression. In life, this applies when women (or anyone) refuse to be treated as objects or inferiors. It encourages asserting one's own will and resisting patriarchal structures.
