Dear Ijeawele, or a Feminist Manifesto in Fifteen Suggestions by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I found a digital copy of this book on my phone, although I’m not sure how or when it got there.
I started reading it immediately after finishing Adichie’s We should all be feminists and I’m more and more impressed and intrigued by her writing.
It was a quick, honest and candid read that addressed the many gender issues that are still so prevalent in today’s world, without placing any blame. Instead the author suggests possible ways to raise girls to be independent, confident and self-reliant.
Overall, I hope more people will read this book and consider these suggestions when raising their children or interacting with others, realizing that equality is a must and stifling, restricting tradition needs to be left in the past. I recommend it to everyone.
