2 " Women come in many colours - black, white, brown, yellow, red when hot, blue when cold, green when sick, multicoloured when unwell and orange when on a night out. In some countries they even come in invisible. "

7 " I do not own my body any more and my country does not own me. Does not want me. I have been given up. Farmed out. My country doesn't afford me the backward glances I gave it as we pulled away from shore. I am cut adrift. "

8 " It's so sentimental, isn't it? To love the land and think it loves us back. Pride is demanded and isn't hard to give. But one wrong move...one wrong move and we are banished. "

9 " As a man, the worst thing is to be accused of doing something "like a Woman". Doing something "like a Woman" is a euphemism for doing something to an abysmal degree of absolute shiteness. Instead of saying that you did something like throwing, running or behaving "not very well" in your everyday language, you can handily use "like a Woman" or, if you are pressed for time, "gay" instead. "

10 " I spent those months, and since, thinking about how we women, from girlhood, are taught to think about others' needs, to care and share and never be selfish. These are good lessons, of course, but I believe, as we grow into women, we are taught to care too much about how others are, how others think of us -to worry deeply about how we look, how we are seen, how kind and caring and giving and selfless we are.
