This letter is a pocketbook for those who want to raise a feminist child in the modern world. I love her 15 suggestions-they are clear and relevant and has a personal touch that makes them easily digestible and understandable by the average person. Highly recommend, even if you do not identify as a feminist or raising a child.
I read it while listening to the audiobook. This makes it feel like Adichie reading her letter to her friend Ijeawele. A great experience.

this tiny volume is the very definition of "this is fcking IT!!!" i almost had a cramp from how much i was nodding while reading this (at least once every pg). adichie is somehow able to succinctly and concisely sum up so many things that are wrong w/ the world's raising of girls and attitude towards women, and there were times i was startled at how she seemingly effortlessly verbalizes things ive always thought of but never so effectively articulated. this is a book i want--and plan--to give to every parent-to-be.

I loved this short but wonderfully written, important and intelligent book. The writing is powerful while still being simple and accessible with personal touches and examples that brought her arguments to life. I found the small elements of culture also fascinating, and it was clear from the letter style that this was written from a very specific experience and was not trying to be based on some universal experience, which worked really well for me.
