Euripides

Woman is woman’s natural ally.

Behind the line

What it means

Our interpretation.

Euripides says women are each other's natural allies. It's a simple statement about solidarity, offered as though it were just how things are. Read it as the writer's view of kinship between women, not a rule that holds for everyone.
