About this quote

This statement addresses the perceived limitations placed upon women in power during the sixteenth century. Queen Elizabeth I acknowledges societal views on gender, but firmly rejects any doubt regarding her courage, strength, and ability to lead. It is a declaration of unwavering resolve, showing that true authority and fortitude come from inner conviction rather than physical form.

Queen Elizabeth I delivered this famous line in her Speech to the Troops at Tilbury in 1588. She addressed her soldiers as England braced for an invasion by the Spanish Armada.
