"Reading this book was like having a personal and face-to-face conversation with Chimamanda. while reading, I constantly nodded my head in agreement as she put into words all the feelings I had about gender expectations.
This is the book I want to buy for all my girlfriends, my guy friends, my husband, my father, my brother, my mother, and my younger sister.
I encourage everyone to read and absorb the message of this fantastic book, and imagine…
'imagine how much happier we would be, how much freer to be our true individual selves, if we didn't have the weight of gender expectations.'"

In this personal, eloquently-argued essay—adapted from her much-admired TEDx talk of the same name—Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, award-winning author of Americanah, 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—and an of-the-moment rallying cry for why we should all be feminists.
