Hello, teachers!!
(1)
I was not born yesterday.=I am not a fool.
---->
I probably understand this phrase.
(2)
I was not born a wife or mother.
---->
I am not sure what this sentence means. Would you explain it to me?
Thank you in advance. |

I was not born a wife or mother.
I'm not limited to being wife or mother. Don't think of me only as a wife or a mother. I can be and do whatever I want. My condition as a wife or mother doesn't marginalize me from the profession world. _________________ I'm never going to learn if you don't correct my mistakes! |
