“I wanted to travel the world and sail every sea. I wanted to have adventures, to be a hero, to have my tales told in courtyards and street fairs, where perhaps kids who’d grown up like me, with more imagination than means, might be inspired to dream. Where women who were told there was only one sort of respectful life for them could listen to tales of another who’d broken away—and thrived when she’d done so.”
― S.A. Chakraborty, The Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi

“A woman can lower her gaze only so often without tripping over her feet.”
― S.A. Chakraborty, The Adventures of Amina Al-Sirafi
