Dear Ijeawele, or A Feminist Manifesto in Fifteen Suggestions
ByPublisher Description
NATIONAL BESTSELLER • The award-winning author of We Should All Be Feminists and Americanah gives us this powerful statement about feminism today—written as a letter to a friend.
A few years ago, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie received a letter from a childhood friend, a new mother who wanted to know how to raise her baby girl to be a feminist. Dear Ijeawele is Adichie’s letter of response: fifteen invaluable suggestions—direct, wryly funny, and perceptive—for how to empower a daughter to become a strong, independent woman. Filled with compassionate guidance and advice, it gets right to the heart of sexual politics in the twenty-first century, and starts a new and urgently needed conversation about what it really means to be a woman today.

“I loved this book. It addressed aspects of feminism that I have brushed by but never thought deep into, it also had wonderful suggestions on how to live as a better feminist. Some which I was already aware of. It also brought my attention to the different things my parents did or said right or wrong according to this and how it affects certain aspect of my feminism like building a people pleasing personality. There were somethings that were wrong according to my experience of the world as well as some things I'd have liked clearer advice on but I don't fault the book for it, it has pointed me towards a direction and I'm glad for it”
