Dear Ijeawele, or A Feminist Manifesto in Fifteen Suggestions
by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
What makes it a must-read?
Are you familiar with the cliché of the short-haired lesbian feminist living with her two cats in the countryside? Well, that's me. And as a feminist aunt, I worry about the feminist education of my little nieces. Thankfully, Chimamanda’s book offers a compelling answer to this question, providing a powerful and concise collection of suggestions to empower both mothers and daughters into fierce and strong independent women. From challenging gender and social norms, celebrating honesty over likeability, developing own sense of identity, and questioning language to valuing difference, Chimamanda's words resonate deeply.
