Inspiring quotes from Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

We teach girls shame. Close your legs. Cover yourself. We make them feel as though they are already guilty of something by being born female. And so girls grow up to be women who cannot say they have desire. Who silence themselves. Who cannot say what they truly think. Who turn pretence into an art form.

I have chosen to no longer be apologetic for my femaleness and feminity. And I want to be respected in all of my femaleness because I deserve to be.

Culture does not make people. People make culture. If it is true that the full humanity of women is not our culture, then we can make it our culture.

The problem with gender is it prescribes how we should be rather than recognising how we are

Our histories cling to us. We are shaped by where we come from

We should all be feminists

Why you should follow your dreams

How to stay motivated when things get difficult

Make a new plan and work towards it
