Dear Ijeawele, or A Feminist Manifesto in Fifteen Suggestions by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
5.0
Adichie eloquently states the basic rules of feminism.
it is not detailed or nuanced but instead simplifies feminism for one who is already familiar with it.
And that is what's great about it. for all the discussions around feminism happening in the world, sometimes you just need to see it explained in an easy digestable way.
no this book won't give you an existencial crisis ( i don't think) but it will easily and matter of factly reassure you in your feminist views and that is what made it so great imo

I Am, I Am, I Am: Seventeen Brushes with Death by Maggie O'Farrell
5.0
oh my god
heartbreaking, poignant, smart.
maggie o'farrell tells her life through near death experiences that end up touching on very personal and yet relatable issues, some even more if you're a woman.
the fear of dying, the fear of losing a loved one, losing a baby, the inherent fear you feel of being kidnapped or abused as a woman. the fear of the unknown, of the vastness of the sea, of things you can't control.
it is also a story of perseverance and coming back to life, fighting for more.
the world is bad but it does give us moments worth fighting for.
