It was easy to persecute me without people feeling ashamed. It was easy to vilify me and project me as a woman who was not following the tradition of a 'good African woman' and as a highly educated elitist who was trying to show innocent African women ways of doing things that were not acceptable to African men.

But while doing that I'd been following a variety of fields in science and technology including the work in molecular biology genetic engineering and so forth.

What Romantic terminology called genius or talent or inspiration is nothing other than finding the right road empirically following one's nose taking shortcuts.

But being in the closet uniquely assisted me in politics. From my first run for the state legislature until my election as governor all too often I was not leading but following my best guess at public opinion.
