Υποθέτω ότι αναφερόταν στην καινούργια γυναικεία υπόστασή μου, το μόνο όμως που μπορούσα να σκεφτώ ήταν ο πόνος ανάμεσα στα πόδια μου.

Ωστόσο, χωρίς να το συνειδητοποιώ εκείνη την εποχή, ήξερα πολύ καλά τι σημαίνει να είσαι Αφρικανή γυναίκα: ήξερα πως να ζω υποφέροντας σιωπηλά, με τον παθητικό, ανήμπορο τρόπο ενός παιδιού.”
