A personal and powerful essay from Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, the bestselling author of Americanah and Half of a Yellow Sun, based on her 2013 TEDx Talk of the same name. ‘I would like to ask that we begin to dream about and plan for a different world. A fairer world. A world of happier men and happier women who are truer to themselves. And this is how to start: we must raise our daughters differently. We must also raise our sons differently…’
What does “feminism” mean today?
In this personal, eloquently argued essay – adapted from her much-admired Tedx talk of the same name – Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie offers readers a unique definition of feminism for the twenty-first century, one rooted in inclusion and awareness. Drawing extensively on her own experiences and her deep understanding of the often masked realities of sexual politics, here is one remarkable author’s exploration of what it means to be a woman now – an of-the-moment rallying cry for why we should all be feminists.

A must read for any woman and man. Feminism has nothing to do with hating men and everything to do with equal respect and opportunities for both sexes. You don't have to be an man's man if you are an man and you don't have to be a woman's woman if you don't want to be. You have the choice to be a stay at home dad and you have the choice to be a career driven woman and vice versa. #girlsspeakout

This is one of my favorite books so far. Yes, we brag about feminism not because women are superior to men or women needs more attention; but because, it's a basic human need. A need to be treated equally, a need to not be validated by someone and a need to not treat us as wife material. The author tells us the way women are treated since the age of time and how poisonous it is to stereotype men and women, in a very modest way possible. I hope this book changes the way we perceive women.

As the title suggests feminism is for everyone similarly, this book is for everyone. You will learn and gain a new perspective. If you have never heard the word feminism (which is not likely) do yourself a favour and give this book a chance. You will not regret it. On the other hand, even if you think you know everything there is to know about Feminism, you should still go through this book once.
