We Should All Be Feminists by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

3.0

Wish it had gone a bit more in depth but I understand it’s probably based on a fifteen minute speech. I do think this is a pretty decent book to expose people to a new take on feminism if they are anti-feminist or completely clueless. Maybe its size is beneficial in that it’s so short they’ll actually read the whole thing. I do think some of these feminist concepts would benefit from also looking at how capitalism impacts working class women. Like, we can talk about making more women CEOs, but that doesn’t save the majority of women (and men) from being exploited by corporations. There’s tons of intersectionality involved in this world, but if we just advocate for some more women to exploit the working class, we haven’t actually achieved much.
