We Should All Be Feminists - February, 19, 2015

We Should All Be Feminists by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie (received through NetGalley)
5 stars



This essay is a written form of Adichie's TED talk about feminism.  I think this short piece does more to summarize the importance of feminism more than anything else that I have read.  She explains how gender is its own issue and one that deserves its own term and that gender issues cannot just be grouped under human rights.  She details some of the road blocks that women face as they try to assume roles of power and some of the negative connotations that should not be associated with feminism.  Sometimes the best argument is made using fewer words and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie does makes a succinct, yet powerful statement in this speech.  I received this digital copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
