Publisher Description

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • The award-winning author of We Should All Be Feminists and Americanah gives us this powerful statement about feminism today—written as a letter to a friend.

A few years ago, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie received a letter from a childhood friend, a new mother who wanted to know how to raise her baby girl to be a feminist. Dear Ijeawele is Adichie’s letter of response: fifteen invaluable suggestions—direct, wryly funny, and perceptive—for how to empower a daughter to become a strong, independent woman. Filled with compassionate guidance and advice, it gets right to the heart of sexual politics in the twenty-first century, and starts a new and urgently needed conversation about what it really means to be a woman today.

Loved this

Another great read! Practical and useful advise for anyone. I appreciate how succinct and detailed this book is. It touched on the major issues in our society and avoided unnecessary repetition.

I wish I read this earlier

This book opened up my eyes. I have always felt as if the society I live in is extremely biased and misogynistic and this book made me understand why. I am a 19 year old woman and I still have so much to learn. If I only my very traditional African mother would’ve raised me this way... It’s not too late for me to change my perception of the world and my character, and this book made me realize that. For that I’m thankful.
