Description
We Should All Be Feminists is a powerful, personal, and eloquently argued essay by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, adapted from her highly acclaimed TEDx talk of the same name. In this short but profound book, Adichie offers a unique and inclusive definition of feminism for the twenty-first century, arguing that a feminist is “a person who believes in the social, political, and economic equality of the sexes”. Drawing extensively on her own experiences in Nigeria and the United States, she shines a light not only on blatant discrimination but also on the subtle, insidious, and institutional behaviors that marginalize women. The book contends that gender is a grave injustice and that the problem with gender is that it “prescribes how we should be rather than recognizing how we are”. By encouraging both men and women to embrace feminism, Adichie provides a rallying cry for a more just and equitable world, advocating for a cultural shift that benefits everyone.
