“I was told that I was different \u2014 and I felt out of place, and too loud, too full of fire, never good at sitting still, never good at fitting in and then one day I realized something, something I hope you all realize. Different is good. When someone tells you that you are different, smile and hold your head up and be proud.”<\/em>

\u201cWe hold ourselves back in ways both big and small, by lacking self-confidence, by not raising our hands, and by pulling back when we should be leaning in.\u201d<\/em>

\u201cWe 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\u2019t 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.\u201d<\/em>
\n–\u00a0Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“The more I have spoken about feminism, the more I have realized that fighting for women’s rights has too often become synonymous with man-hating. If there is one thing I know for certain, it is that this has to stop.”<\/em>
\n–\u00a0Emma Watson<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
