From the best-selling author of Americanah and We Should All Be
Feminists comes a powerful new statement about feminism today - written
as a letter to a friend. A few years ago, Chimamanda Ngozi
Adichie received a letter from a dear friend from childhood, asking her
how to raise her baby girl as a feminist. Dear Ijeawele is Adichie's
letter of response.
Here are fifteen invaluable
suggestions-compelling, direct, wryly funny, and perceptive-for how to
empower a daughter to become a strong, independent woman. From
encouraging her to choose a helicopter, and not only a doll, as a toy if
she so desires; having open conversations with her about clothes,
makeup, and sexuality; debunking the myth that women are somehow
biologically arranged to be in the kitchen making dinner, and that men
can "allow" women to have full careers, Dear Ijeawele goes right to the
heart of sexual politics in the twenty-first century. It will start a
new and urgently needed conversation about what it really means to be a
woman today.
