About this ebook

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The highly acclaimed, provocative essay on feminism and sexual politics—from the award-winning author of Americanah

"A call to action, for all people in the world, to undo the gender hierarchy." —Medium

In this personal, eloquently-argued essay—adapted from the much-admired TEDx talk of the same name—Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie offers readers a unique definition of feminism for the twenty-first century. 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.

Every fact in this book isn't real, I studied all of these facts and sent proven to not be true. Feminism is a cheap way of saying "I'm lazy and don't work as hard, but I should still get payed the amount of money for a 20 hour shift." Is is a discrace against hard workers! I HATE THIS BOOK 😡, There is only 2 genders, and I love Trump and I am a proud Republican!

Just wrong in every aspect now I know why it's always encouraged by every modern day feminazi there are far better books that actually support equality of both genders

As a young feminist I've always struggled in expressing or understanding some of my thoughts, as my views differ from most people especially those of my own (background African decent) this book has given me hope and confidence in sticking to what I believe as well as staying open minded. I definitely recommend reading this book because it touches upon some of the most important issues we face today. Thank you Chimamanda. You are a great inspiration to women around the world and FEMINISTS!
