NICOLE DEL ROSARIO CUUNJIENG
In the fall of 2012, Aung San Suu Kyi, the Burmese opposition politician, Nobel Peace Prize laureate, and chairperson of the National League for Democracy, visited Yale University as part of her tour of the United States. I attended her two talks, both of which concluded with lengthy question-and-answer sessions with the audience. In these, Aung San Suu Kyi spoke of her formative years at Oxford, of her political decisions, of her positions on human rights issues, and of her family. She told us that she was never one of those children who resented or rebelled against her parents; she was always proud to be her father’s daughter, and to bear his name.
