"I want to buy copies and pass them out to everyone."
Adapted from Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's Ted Talk bearing the same name, this deeply personal and impeccably well-written essay explores the layered experience of twenty-first century feminism.
Adichie, award-winning author of Americanah, offers readers a unique definition of feminism. Drawing extensively on her own experiences and her deep understanding of the often masked realities of sexual politics, here is one remarkable author’s exploration of what it means to be a woman now—and an of-the-moment rallying cry for why we should all be feminists.

“Adichie is so smart about so many things.” (San Francisco Chronicle)
"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 emphasizes 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.” (Eleonor - Teen Reviewer at The Guardian)
"This was a non-confrontational, introduction to feminism. I want to buy copies and pass them out to everyone. If you have a knee-jerk response to the word feminism or are interested in finding out what it all means but don't want to read a tome this will give you a short, personal story of what feminism is. I agreed with everything that Ms. Adichie writes. What I think hits home for me the most is that this is a worldwide issue that, while it may be tied to economic or race issues it is separate and therefore needs to be addressed on its own.
