Adichie’s follow up to We Should All Be Feminists is at first a how-to manual to raising a feminist. But it is also a deconstruction of gender roles and how boys and girls are raised differently. She notes how men and women are raised to look at marriage and domestic work. But also focuses on langua...
Just like 'We Should All Be Feminists', this book is so damn important and everyone should read it. I could've easily went through this book in one sitting in the span of a few minutes. But I didn't. I took my time and read every one of the suggestions and thought about them. I'm still thinking ab...
Lovely. We should all have a friend like Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie to write us letters and cheer us on in whatever endeavors we want to do. If you've thought at all about feminism, class, race, gender bias, you'll have thought many of these things already, but I bet you wouldn't put them so tenderly ...

With all the shit going on in the world, this should be required reading. It's not that long and can be easily read in an evening. Written in first person, this is a letter to a friend by the author. She gives suggestions for raising a strong, feminist girl (and these suggestions could also be used ...
