The advice within the book is good, as far as I can tell. I just wish it weren't written by a transphobe. Some people can separate the art from the artist (whatever that means); I cannot and will not.

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.
