The title was changed to "Remember the Ladies" after a letter Abigail Adams wrote to her husband.
"I long to hear that you have declared an independency. And, by the way, in the new code of laws which I suppose it will be necessary for you to make, I desire you would remember the ladies and be more generous and favorable to them than your ancestors. Do not put such unlimited power into the hands of the husbands. Remember, all men would be tyrants if they could. If particular care and attention is not paid to the ladies, we are determined to foment a rebellion, and will not hold ourselves bound by any laws in which we have no voice or representation." ~ Abigail Adams to John Adams, March 31, 1776

Women of SHIELD
The men of SHIELD made it difficult on them. It was like any other field. The women at SHIELD were more than capable of anything that their male counterparts could do, and the men knew it. They were threatened by it.
Natasha Romanoff and Melinda May were two of the most capable fighters in the entire agency. Jemma Simmons was one of the smartest. Maria Hill had risen the ranks to deputy director in record time. Victoria Hand was the most fearsome interrogator and superior officer most agents had ever seen. And the hacker who'd gotten through all of SHIELD's firewalls and protection, she was pretty special too.
The men of SHIELD made it difficult on them. The women of SHIELD could handle it.
