What this book is about
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's short essay began as a letter to her friend Ijeawele, who had asked for advice on raising her daughter as a feminist. Adichie expanded it into fifteen concrete suggestions — covering identity, language, gender roles, marriage, and more — with her characteristic blend of personal warmth and incisive intelligence. One of the most accessible and practical feminist texts available; appropriate for all ages.
