Understanding this quote
The quote says that bodily autonomy is essential to freedom: a woman should have ownership over her own body and understand how to care for it. “Look after it properly” points to informed, responsible self-care, while the larger point is that freedom is incomplete when someone lacks control or knowledge about their physical well-being.
