CHIMAMANDA NGOZI ADICHIE Author
“Policy is important, laws are important, but changing cultural norms and
mindsets matter even more. Take ambition, for example. We praise ambitious
men and judge ambitious women. I long for a world where women can show
a wide range of complex human emotions without the risk of societal censure.
I long for more stories of women who are strong without being superheroes,
who do not need to be extraordinary to be admirable.”
