“That's all I could ever hope for, to have a positive effect on women. 'Cos women are powerful, powerful beings. But they're also the most doubtful beings. They'll never know - we'll never know - how powerful we are.”

Meaning

This reads as praise for women that is also a statement about self-doubt and power living side by side. It can be taken to mean that recognition matters because strength is often carried without certainty, and being seen can matter as much as being admired. It lands in a speech about encouragement, especially when someone names the impact of being represented well.
