We Should All Be Feminists | Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

Today's quick read. It's a modified version of the authors TEDTalk from 2012. Excellent message and it gives us a look at how feminism looks in another country.

The contemporary setting provides a colorful backdrop, and engaged readers will not miss covert references to job insecurity, gender bias, and how advertent cultural/religious restraints impose barriers that clash with the pace of emerging economies. A must read!!

This book was not written for me, so of course I struggled with it. And I'm totally fine with that. I think for those who need this story, it'll give them a lot. I was a bit lost between the Nigerian ghosts and gods, but also somehow fascinated. It's a unique read for me, but I'm not sure if I would another book by this author.

Jari-chan @Liz_M Thank you for the tip. I might give it a try. 1mo

Pogue When I read this it was confusing, but then I read her book Pet and it cleared up much of Freshwater. I wish I had read Pet first. 1mo

Jari-chan @Pogue Oh, I wanted to read Pet, but it wasn't available 😕 1mo

This book was a quick read about feminism. I like the many personal stories and how it was more an of essay then a book. Nice little short read! Although it didn‘t really mention anything I didn‘t already know or belive.
