- SIGNIFICANT QUOTES: “We teach girls to shrink themselves, to make
themselves smaller. We say to girls, you can have ambition, but not too much.
You should aim to be successful, but not too successful. Otherwise, you would
threaten the man. Because I am female, I am expected to aspire to marriage. I
am expected to make my life choices always keeping in mind that marriage is
the most important. Now marriage can be a source of joy and love and mutual
support but why do we teach girls to aspire to marriage and we don’t teach
boys the same? We raise girls to see each other as competitors not for jobs or
accomplishments, which I think can be a good thing, but for the attention of
men. We teach girls that they cannot be sexual beings in the way that boys
are.” ― Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, We Should All Be Feminists
- SIGNIFICANT QUOTES: “You
must never behave as if
your life belongs to a man.
Do you hear me?” Aunty
