We Should All Be Feminists
by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
“Some people ask: “'Why the word feminist? Why not just say you are a believer in human rights, or something like that?'” Because that would be dishonest. Feminism is, of course, part of human rights in general—but to choose to use the vague expression human rights is to deny the specific and particular problem of gender. It would be a way of pretending that it was not women who have, for centuries, been excluded."

This book was assigned for my women's studies class but I read it at least twice because I loved it SO MUCH. It explains feminism in the most remarkable way, a way that everybody can understand. It is a book by a beautiful person full of beautiful words.
This book is a gift to the world. By combining her own experiences with those of women of history, [a:Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie|11291|Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1474446019p2/11291.jpg] makes it clear why feminism is relevant today. Like a person playing whack-a-mole, she slams down on gender bias and arguments for gender inequality. When you're reading the book, you get the feeling that she is attacking the world with her words - anything to try and get people to understand her.
I recommend this book to anyone who read [b:I Am Malala: The Story of the Girl Who Stood Up for Education and Was Shot by the Taliban|17851885|I Am Malala The Story of the Girl Who Stood Up for Education and Was Shot by the Taliban|Malala Yousafzai|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1375414895l/17851885._SY75_.jpg|24987300], [b:Bad Feminist|18813642|Bad Feminist|Roxane Gay|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1421292744l/18813642._SY75_.jpg|26563816] and/or [b:Feminism is for Everybody: Passionate Politics|168484|Feminism is for Everybody Passionate Politics|bell hooks|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1327933698l/168484._SY75_.jpg|843092]. This book belongs in the same class of esteemed literature. Also, it's worth it to read the book and watch the TED Talk.

Adichie is becoming such an important and empowered voice in women's rights and I can't wait to see what she does next!
