9 of famous Aung San Suu Kyi quotes  on peace and politics to empower the leader in you.

Quotes From Female Nobel Laureates

14 Quotes From Female Nobel Laureates In Lit The 2016 Nobel Literature Prize was given to Bob Dylan, much to the chagrin of some and the joy of others. Regardless, Dylan is now part of an award that spans generations, genre, and form. What, unfortunately, has stayed very much the same about the award is that it is dominantly given to men — only 14 women have won the Nobel Prize in Literature. Since 1901, an award has been given every year, except for 1918, 1935, and 1940 through 1943. Still, only 14 women. The awards themselves have proven controversial beyond the gender element, as many people perceived Haruki Murakami as more deserving of this year's award. Which is to say these award decisions are not without dissension. Of these 14 women, each has something different to offer. There's Selma Lagerlöf, the first woman to win the award back in 1909. There's Toni Morrison, the second black person (after Wole Soyinka) and first black woman to win the award, in 1993. There...
