Hanna Rosin
Israeli Author
Every congresswoman surely endures the same strains that drive some of her male colleagues to have affairs: lots of travel, families far away, heady work that makes a domestic routine seem distant and boring. But the stakes are much higher for women, because they are still judged by a different standard.
Quote examples
Vikas Swarup
Indian Novelist

Quote examples

Quote examples
