“…in Afghanistan, the women refer to their illiteracy as blindness. When I asked them what they meant by that, one woman explained: ‘I couldn’t read, so I couldn’t see what was going on.’ In fewer than a dozen words, she described a system that men in power have relied on for centuries-keep women uneducated so they won’t know what’s going on.”
– Sally Armstrong, Uprising: A New Age is Dawning for Every Mother’s Daughter
