Correct. But, growing up in California, this portion of the quote was posted everywhere on the wall in every female teacher’s office or behind her desk.

Oh definitely. I completely understand how it's now a bumper sticker and t-shirt slogan that a lot of women use to encourage their career accomplishments, etc. Sorry if I sounded like I was correcting you, didn't mean to!
