Dear Ijeawele, or a Feminist Manifesto in Fifteen Suggestions
by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie is one of the funniest authors I’ve read yet. Having just finished [b:Americanah|15796700|Americanah|Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1356654499l/15796700._SX50_.jpg|21519538], I immediately wanted to read more of her work and picked up a copy of [b:Dear Ijeawele, or a Feminist Manifesto in Fifteen Suggestions|33585392|Dear Ijeawele, or a Feminist Manifesto in Fifteen Suggestions|Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1493035257l/33585392._SX50_.jpg|54361391] and boy was that a good choice.
She writes this series of suggestions to the newborn daughter of a friend, filled with advice on how to be not only a feminist, but a good person. Adichie’s tone is rare in that it is equal parts genuine and facetious, and I was laughing every other suggestion. It’s a short read, and I highly recommend it. If you need help deciding if it’s the read for you, I also recommend watching Adichie’s interview with Trevor Noah on The Daily Show, which is truly iconic and hilarious. It’s worth the time.
