Because I liked to read, so they called me a girl. Okay, I’m a girl.

I like the irony that the bulk of females I had to work with don’t read as much. I also like the idea that my female classmates at University are all more successful than me, because know they re more hardworking. But of course, they were in the gifted programme so the learning ability is different.

Being a female political activist tends to be very dangerous work. So you have to compare apples with apples. Pearl S. Buck is more like an Indian girl arguing she should be educated. Auug San Suu Ki had the same issue.
