In my definition I am a protest writer, with restraint. Chinua Achebe
That only a few, under any circumstances, protest against the injustice of long-established laws and customs, does not disprove the fact of the oppressions, while the satisfaction of the many, if real only proves their apathy and deeper degradation. Elizabeth Cady Stanton
