Meaning
This reads as a challenge to inherited ideas about women’s abilities, and as a call for women to define themselves rather than be defined by others. It can be taken to mean that confidence and agency are not given, they are claimed. In a workplace, for example, it lands as a push to stop waiting for permission and start naming one’s own strength.
