Bella Abzug
About This Quote
A political quip associated with Abzug’s public persona as a congresswoman and feminist advocate, using wordplay on the traditional phrase about a woman’s “place” to point to elected office—specifically the U.S. House of Representatives.
Interpretation
It flips a sexist cliché into a claim for women’s full participation in government, asserting that women belong in positions of legislative power rather than being confined to domestic roles.
