In a letter to a friend, the best-selling author of Americanah and We Should All Be Feminists makes a compelling new argument about feminism in the modern day.
A childhood friend wrote to Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie a few years ago, inquiring about the best way to raise her infant daughter in a feminist household. This is Adichie's answer letter to Ijeawele.
These are fifteen priceless tips for empowering a daughter to become a strong, independent woman. They are smart, powerful, direct, and wryly amusing. Dear Ijeawele debunks 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. She also encourages her to choose a helicopter instead of just a doll as a toy if she so desires. These actions get right to the core of sexual politics in the twenty-first century. It will initiate a fresh and much-needed discussion on what it means to be a woman in the modern world.
