What is your favorite quote, artwork, book or documentary related to Women & Gender Studies? “Feminism isn’t a cloak that I put on in the morning and take off at certain times. It’s who I am. I look at the world through eyes that are very alert to gender injustice, and I always will.”
— Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
