John Will Never Send A Boy Or

I Grew Up In A Dictatorship In East Africa.

As A Young Woman, I Attended Witwatersrand University In Johannesburg, South Africa, Which Was Then Not Segregated. But I Witnessed The Weight Of Apartheid Everywhere Around Me.

Political Campaigns Are The Graveyard Of Real Ideas And The Birthplace Of Empty Promises.

It's Time That We Acknowledge The Wisdom Women Have Acquired By Managing The Chaos Of Daily Life. Women Are Realists, The Glue That Holds Society Together. They Bring A Reverence To Life That's Instinctual, Not Just Intellectual.

My Right To Speak My Mind, To Have A Voice, To Be What Some Have Called 'opinionated' Is A Right I Deeply And Profoundly Cherish. My Only Hope Is That, One Day Soon, Women Who Have All Earned The Right To Their Opinions -- Instead Of Being Called 'opinionated' Will Be Called Smart And Well-informed, Just Like Men.
