aimiller 's review for:

We Should All Be Feminists by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
2.0

So this was... basic, and okay I guess? It's wholly unsurprising to me that she's been revealed (through her own words) as being trans-exclusionary, given how invested she seems to be in biological essentialism throughout the book. It's kind of inspired me to try to see if there's like a very basic syllabus of some kinds about what to have folks read after this to expand their understandings of feminism (maybe that's just black feminist theory...)

On the other hand, it did let me mix up the phrase "bottom power" so I kept reading "power bottom," which is always good for a laugh. Otherwise... meh. It was fine.
