It is a short essay, full of passionate push for gender equality (mostly in Nigeria, and maybe also in the US). I ended up leaving a lower rating because of the author's binary view on gender and repeated insistence that men are physically stronger than women. The book was published in 2012 when nonbinary gender identities were not as well known as now; however, the author's extreme divide between men and women effectively erased people outside that binary and made it hard for me to stay focused on her narrative. I would recommend other feminist books that have more "updated" views on gender.

this is a good jumping off point in my opinion if you want your feminism to be more intersectional. other cultures have other traditions and ways they inadvertently oppress girls and women. this book can open your eyes to the world beyond white feminism.

A beautiful work by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, depicting her and her friend’s experiences with sexism and why we should all fight against it and be feminists. As someone interested in these topics, I found it an essential short read.

ive come across full length books that dont talk about feminism as in-depth and succinctly as this essay does, like...this is so short but is so expertly written.
