A book that collects the transcendental and emblematic speech the author gave in her TEDx Talk about what it means to be a feminist in the 21st century.
Being a feminist is not just a women's issue. Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie demonstrates this in this eloquent and insightful text, in which she offers us a unique definition of what it means to be a feminist in the 21st century. With a clear and direct style, and without losing humor, this charismatic author explores the role of today's woman and suggests ideas to make this world a fairer place.
“Today I would like to ask that we start dreaming of a plan for a different world. A fairer world. A world of men and women who are happier and more honest with themselves. And this is how to start: we have to raise our daughters differently. And also our sons.”
Critics have said...
