Some of her other works include: Dear Ijeawele, or A Feminist Manifesto In Fifteen Suggestions (2017), Americanah (2013), and The Thing Around Your Neck (2009).
Other issues discussed by the author are: invisibilization, pay gap, raising girls and boys differently, culture and gender.Īn an essay on contemporary feminism, the 64-pages long book is a modified version of the author’s TedEx talk from December 2012 of the same name. The two aspects of the books that I have critically focused on in this review are: the stereotypical idea of feminism and the word feminist and the process of normalisation. While the author shares her experiences of facing gender-based discrimination and those of her friends and family in Nigeria, the issues presented in the book are still universal in the sense, people across the world can relate to them. The book ‘We Should All Be Feminists’ can be read as a primer to understand feminism. And, Nigerian feminist writer Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s work ‘We Should All Be Feminists’ is my recommendation for a foundational understanding of feminism. Given how the Internet is a volcano of information (both authentic and inauthentic), one of the best ways, as a patient beginner on the journey towards understanding feminism, is reading. It is absolutely normal to get overwhelmed with the idea of feminism and everything it encompasses. We do not condone any such sentiment and will curate her work more strictly in future. Editor’s note on : The FII team acknowledges the criticism Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie has received for being transphobic.
