The ambitious woman has often been seen as a source of fear and confusion to society. Society is not completely comfortable with women having great dreams and success. Some cultures raise their girls to believe that their identity is defined through their roles and relationships. Lu and Isabelle discuss ambitious women, the female identity and if women can have it all. Also, they share their unique view of African Aunty Feminism.
"Marriage can be a source of joy and love and mutual support but why do we teach girls to aspire to marriage and we don’t teach boys the same? We raise girls to see each other as competitors not for jobs or accomplishments, which I think can be a good thing, but for the attention of men." – Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie.
