I came to England in 1962 as a very young bride, in my teens, hoping just to stay two years and go back.

I'm not just a feminist - I'm a feminist plus.

A hungry man is an angry one.

Black women all over the world should re-unite and re-examine the way history has portrayed us.

As soon as I finish a book, I sell the paperback rights to different publishers and that's where I recoup my money.

But who made the law that we should not hope in our daughters? We women subscribe to that law more than anyone. Until we change all this, it is still a man's world, which women will always help to build.

When I came to England it wasn't what it is now, then the black people were very rarely strong. I had a personal shock because England wasn't what I expected it to be... where people lived like Jane Austen.
