Chimamanda had written:
“So in our world a man is confident but a woman is arrogant.
A man is uncompromising but a woman is a ball-breaker.
A man is assertive, a woman is aggressive.
A man is strategic, a woman is manipulative.
A man is a leader, a woman is controlling.
A man is authoritative, a woman is annoying.
The characteristic or behaviour is the same, what is different is the sex. And based on this sex, the world makes assumptions and the world treats us differently.”

She replied:
“I understand exactly where she is coming from. I spent 2 years in her Homeland Nigeria, sickening the lack of women’s rights. You are called all sorts of names because you stand for your name… as a woman.”
