Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie hosted a TEDxEuston, a conference focused on Africa. After speaking at different TED events, Ms. Adichie was asked to return and she had a serious discussion of feminism. Then, the conversation was made into a very good e-book, which was printed and called "we should all be feminists" on a global scale. After reading this 52-page book, I was not surprised by the popularity and adaptability of its supporters and scholars.
For those who want to learn more about feminism, this book is the main content of anyone's bookshelf. From beginning to end, I continued to read examples and words that I did not expect. It also opened up this topic, not only interesting, but also eye-opening.
This book first recounts the death of her dear friend in a plane crash. This person was also the first to call her a feminist, and she admitted that she had to go home and look up the definition of the word in the dictionary. Then she began to accept this aspect, and she had a different way of thinking than the culture she lived in.
A reprint of each page will give you an idea of systematic anti-feminism in African culture, but surprisingly, there are still some similar problems in American society today. From the example of a privileged school, she was torn off because people thought it could not be done by women. In order to treat a walk at the hotel and automatically be questioned that she is a prostitute, the official just realized that she was a paid guest.
She delved into the issue of how women "good-looking" or "timid" in the corporate world, and men should be strong and demanding. When a woman imitates these same behaviors, people complain about the difficulties of working with her. It's not that she is a game of power, but just an example of her male opponent.
Even she began to teach writing and decided to wear clothing that she should take seriously. And how she responded to becoming a woman in a strong teaching position and the respect and lack of experience she experienced.
From the front to the back, the book was read five times during the week I received it. In many cases, you will re-read the section just to see that although she is talking about African culture, it is a problem that transcends many cultures, including the United States. Anyone who has been skeptical about feminism, or who has found many in-depth and overwhelmed choices, is not only a good introduction, but also exciting and beautiful for those who are proficient in feminism.
