She further says, "They said man-made or natural, why is it man-made, why can't it be people-made, why not human-made, because aren't women building the Eiffel tower or something."
Referring to a quote from Abraham Lincoln's famous Gettysburg Address, delivered on November 19, 1863, wherein the United States' 16th President had said that "all men are created equal", the girl asks her mother, "aren't women created equal too? Why don't they say all people are created equal?"
She then reiterates, "Why is it called man-made? Aren't women allowed to build stuff."

The recipient of Padma Shri and Padma Bhushan, Shaw started at the age of 25 in a field that was not fathomed by many and is a name to reckon with in business world today.
