As an unmarried woman, I was thought to be a danger.
Meaning of the quote
In this quote, Grace Kelly is sharing how, as a woman who was not married, people saw her as a threat or problem. Back then, it was common for unmarried women to be viewed with suspicion or fear, simply because they did not have a husband. This shows how society can sometimes have unfair expectations or biases against those who don't fit a certain mold. Kelly's experience highlights the importance of being open-minded and not making assumptions about people based on their marital status or other personal choices.
