She can hold her own.
Not kidding... that's it.
She can hold her own is used as a phrase to say exactly that... Selbst ist die Frau. |

Sorry, Amber is wrong and Sonne is 80% right.
"Self-reliance is the name of the game" hits the goal, but there are 2 different sayings in Germany: a) Selbst ist der Mann b) Selbst ist die Frau. (Mann = man, Frau = woman)
"Selbst ist die Frau" is just a result from "Selbst ist der Mann", which originally was an advertisement campeign in the early 20ies in Germany. |

most literal translation is "Even is the woman."
I normally have seen it used in situations where women are doing something that traditionally a man would be doing and they are doing it just as well or better. |
