In older pieces of literature female characters are sidelined, while male characters take on the role of the hero, or the dominant part of the story.

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's The Thing Around Your Neck opposes the normal female…

I believe curiosity is what drives people to do things that normal people would consider weird. Looking at the sky and wondering what is…

I didn’t want to put down their idea, so I hesitantly agreed to it. I tried to sound enthusiastic and calm about the whole thing, but my mind was just a plethora of corybantic thoughts.
