I worked with a group of people who argued day and night - professors officials the Minister of Finance - but there were decisions that I had to make.
I talk to women's groups all over the country and see women struggling with this. The fear of not being accepted of being different of not having a man all make it hard for a woman to do what she really believes is right for her.
