From the best-selling author of Americanah and We Should All Be
Feminists comes a powerful new statement about feminism today -
written as a letter to a friend. A few years ago, Chimamanda Ngozi
Adichie received a letter from a dear friend from childhood, asking
her how to raise her baby girl as a feminist. Dear Ijeawele is
Adichie's letter of response. Here are fifteen invaluable
suggestions-compelling, direct, wryly funny, and perceptive-for how
to empower a daughter to become a strong, independent woman. From
encouraging her to choose a helicopter, and not only a doll, as a
toy if she so desires; having open conversations with her about
clothes, makeup, and sexuality; debunking the myth that women are
somehow biologically arranged to be in the kitchen making dinner,
and that men can "allow" women to have full careers, Dear Ijeawele
goes right to the heart of sexual politics in the twenty-first
century. It will start a new and urgently needed conversation about
what it really means to be a woman today.
