Adichie writes a letter to her friend about how to raise her daughter as a feminist, posing 13 guidelines that offer thoughtful questions into the process of raising strong girls.

This a short, quick read, and I adore Adichie's bold writing. This is my new baby shower gift to any friends having or adopting children. :) While I didn't agree with every single item, I loved about 99% of her principals, and found myself nodding my head as I read. I especially loved the role-reversal question, which is one I often use - "Would someone say the same thing about a man?"

I especially loved item eight - rejecting likability. So often women are told that "people" might not like something...and men aren't. Just...YES. :)

This is a book I wish I had received as a young adult. I'm thankful that my mom reared me to be a feminist.
