"Culture does not
make people. People make culture."
What does “feminism” mean
today? That is the question at the heart of "We Should All Be
Feminists", a personal, eloquently-argued essay—adapted from her
much-viewed TEDx talk of the same name—by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, the
award-winning author of Americanah and Half of a Yellow Sun.
With humor and levity,
here Adichie offers readers a unique definition of feminism for the
twenty-first century—one rooted in inclusion and awareness. She shines a light
not only on blatant discrimination, but also the more insidious, institutional
behaviors that marginalize women around the world, in order to help readers of
all walks of life better understand the often masked realities of sexual
politics.
Argued in the same
observant, witty and clever prose that has made Adichie a bestselling novelist,
here is one remarkable author’s exploration of what it means to be a woman
today—and an of-the-moment rallying cry for why we should all be feminists.
