I’m writing this review for school but I think everyone should read this. This book is about a essay/ Ted talk about Chimamanda Ngozi Adichue’s life as being a women. She talks about how parts in her life were unfair to her and women. Like how her teacher let the person with the highest grade to be hall monitor, and she got the highest but the teacher changed it to it has to be a boy. And when she gave a worker a tip but the worker said thanks to the boy standing next to her because he is a man and apparently in the workers mind, only men can have money.
My favorite part of the book was basically the whole thing. This is the only non-fiction book I willing read and it is one of the best books I’ve ever read. It is such a convincing essay on feminism and I love how the author doesn’t blame this issue on men and has sympathy for men too. She said that if we, both genders, can change our perspective on this then our future kids can be happier that they can be freer and don’t have to listen to gender expectations.
I don’t have a least favorite part. This whole book was written beautifully written.
My question for the author is when did u start feeling like women are treated unfairly and are you going to keep writing and speaking out about it?
You should definitely read this book. I feel like feminism isn’t a huge topic that we all talk about, so I think everyone should be required to read this book. It is a short book so it’s not going to take forever to read and it has so much information. Feminism should be a more important topic that we should all learn about and reading this book and getting informed on it is how we can all start.

Culture does not make people. People make culture.
his book is a very short adaptation of the TED talk by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie of the same name. She talks of her experience of sexism growing up in Nigeria and how it has effected her life. It discusses why we still need feminism and why each and every person should be a feminist. Personally, I love the eloquent way this essay is worded; it’s persuasive but doesn’t pressure you or force you into agreeing with her. It doesn’t have to because her story speaks for itself. What I think is really important is how she emphasises the way that feminism is about equality between both sexes, something which is at the core of feminism but is overlooked so often in today’s society. This book is tiny, insightful and would make a perfect present as it also looks gorgeous. I highly recommend this to teenagers and young adults who are just being introduced to the concept on feminism, but equally anyone with an interest in the subject would also love it. It’s a great short read and one I wish every person was made to read. By defining feminism and what it is to be a woman in the world, Adichie sends forth both comfort and a challenge. Once when I was young, my great-grandmother told me about our city before pavement, and how they were sure cars would never last because they were impractical. Had the world listened, instead of putting down pavement, we'd all still be walking or riding horses. Women today too often accept the dated definition of what it is to be female, and content themselves with walking the dirt roads when there is a better way. It requires changes. It isn't easy. It will never be easy. The day we think it is, we will have forgotten how much was given to have it. Share
