Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
About this listen
A personal and powerful essay from Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, the bestselling author of Americanah and Half of a Yellow Sun.
‘I would like to ask that we begin to dream about and plan for a different world. A fairer world. A world of happier men and happier women who are truer to themselves. And this is how to start: we must raise our daughters differently. We must also raise our sons differently…’
What does “feminism” mean today?
In this personal, eloquently argued essay – adapted from her much-admired Tedx talk of the same name – Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie offers readers a unique definition of feminism for the twenty-first century, one rooted in inclusion and awareness. 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 – an of-the-moment rallying cry for why we should all be feminists.
©2014 Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie (P)2016 Penguin Random House LLCCritic Reviews
‘The book I'd press into the hands of girls and boys, as an inspiration for a future "world of happier men and happier women who are truer to themselves"’ Books of the Year, Independent
‘One and a half million YouTube viewings later, this small but perfectly formed talk has become an equally small but perfectly formed book, thanks to Fourth Estate. The perfect size in fact for handbags, pockets and Christmas stockings. There really is no excuse not to buy several’ Harpers Bazaar

This resonated with my lived experience as a woma.
I first heard this speech in her charismatic TED Talk. The talk and speech are the same word for word but this slower and more somber reading highlights different nuances in this message of equality and empowerment.
I'm so happy to have heard this talk.

Enlightening and gentle
As a 26 yo man, I think coming into this book the most I had ever experienced feminism was in the media, where a lot of different opinions and points of view come together and it can be hard to decide what to think, who to listen to and who to believe.
This book gave me a small insight into the basics of true feminism, and what that looks like and allowed me to conceptualise such a broad and complex issue. Something that I didn’t think I’d ever truly be able to understand and although I most likely never will, this has helped me take the very big first step towards understanding and awareness.

slightly longer than the Ted talk
if you've already seen the eponymous Ted talk, then you've already heard the meat of it. still, I'm glad to have it here as an always ready reminder of the struggles faced by women and the role I may play in it as a man.
if you haven't heard the talk, you'll enjoy this read thoroughly.

Absolutely great listen
Such an easy listen not only because its short, its well written and well read by Chimamanda herself, but also because it hits so many points that we really must reflect on and start making small changes in our actions. 👏🏾👏🏾

Loved it!
The only thing I’ll say is that it was too short! I’ll have to listen to some of her other works.
