This really explained to me what a feminist is. It was so easy to understand, I was really learning WHILE reading casually. It was a nice change from reading fiction all the time.
Good for beginners in non-fiction because of how short and informative it is. Highly recommended!

For centuries, the world divided human beings into two groups and then proceeded to exclude and oppress one group. It is only fair that the solution to the problem acknowledge that.
I read this book and [b:Dear Ijeawele, or a Feminist Manifesto in Fifteen Suggestions|33585392|Dear Ijeawele, or a Feminist Manifesto in Fifteen Suggestions|Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1493035257s/33585392.jpg|54361391] at the same time, and if I had to recommend one I would recommend a Feminist Manifesto in Fifteen Suggestions instead. This book was good, I connected with a lot of the points that the author talked about. But, I found it very similar to other feminist works and it rehashed a lot of the same ideas. I did appreciate how short this book was and I think it would be very useful to introduce people to feminist ideas because of that factor.

Adichie highlights through her childhood memories and growing up in Nigeria how if an action is repeated regularly enough that it becomes the norm. In the case Adichie makes, that for instance 'only men should be heads of corporations' which frankly isn't the case.
She also highlights how gender embeds expectations of behaviour (women should be the caregivers and raise children as it is their maternal instinct and men should pay for meals to exert their power over women for instance in extreme terms).
A really great short and a glimpse into Adichie's personal insights on feminism.
