Dear Ijeawele or A Feminist Manifesto in Fifteen Suggestions Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie Books

Fabulous book! I love every book of Chimamanda's and this is no exception. Awesome tips for raising feminist kids! Shame about the hypocrites down rating this not because of the content because they disagree with her personal opinion. I guess every book they ever read in life was by someone who agrees with all their views.

Dear Ijeawele or A Feminist Manifesto in Fifteen Suggestions Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie Books Reviews

I always considered myself a feminist, I thought that since I am a woman I also had to be a feminist, right?
It wasn't until last year that I started questioning myself about this matter that it became clear that I was not well informed, I didn't know enough, I was not even sure of what being a feminist meant. I was not reading broadly enough, I was not listening to other opinions on the subject and if someone were to confront me on my ideas I wouldn't be able to give solid arguments, just vague ideas of why feminism matters or shy I believed in woman liberation. So I decided to educate myself, I truly believe that Adichie's texts are a great way to explain feminism to others and to oneself.
I quite liked this short read. While there were some parts where I couldn't help but to think "isn't this just common sense?", there were others that I hadn't thought about at all. I liked the tone the most overall. I never felt like I was being yelled at or told "you have to do this or your stupid"; it was very gentle and informative.
These are the important conversations about feminism we need to be having. Not just women and their daughters, all of us.
I was able to read this whole book over my lunch break, and there were so many simple and concise lessons that are always important for girls and women to see.
I love Adichie and appreciate this book so much. Some of it will seem like common sense, but I really enjoyed the whole book.
I honestly think everyone should read this book, not only parents, but everyone, because the book touches on many issues that we grapple with even as adults. Although presented in simple form, the book lends expression to real issues that affect women from childhood. I read excerpts of the book to my partner because I wanted him to understand my thinking on certain issues such as women changing to their husbands' surnames after marriage, among the many pertinent issues that the book addresses.

Beyond its entertainment value, I learnt a lot from this book because it helped me to examine some of my own thoughts and actions and how these are being unconsciously passed onto the next generation and perpetuating the very patriarchy that we would like to unravel.

On the whole, I found the book very empowering because of the advice it gives and the opportunity for introspection that it created.

This book is a must read and I strongly recommend it.
This easy to read Manifesto goes straight to the heart of what it means to welcome a feminist into the world. As parents it can be difficult to abandon our misconceptions even when we are aware of the error of our ways. Nonetheless, some of us want to avoid passing along our convoluted thinking and doing, and that's the intention of this set of fifteen suggestions to basically help us get out of our own way. The outline presented almost seems elementary yet in practice (as the author notes) the work of socializing our children, and most specifically our girls, can be a daunting task. Yet, Adichie's thorough explanation and accompanying examples easily brings the task of thoughtful parenting into a space of functional familiarity.

I read the book in an hour or so, and I appreciated breaking away from the text to excitedly explore the lives of a few impactful women mentioned as exemplars. I also paused to feed my stimulated curiosity about the feminist qualities I have possibly instilled in my own daughter thus far. To appease my wonder I asked my daughter what can men do, other than the single most obvious thing, that women cannot. She paused so long while searching for an answer that I had to admit that it was a trick question. I was thrilled to get so much insight about my teenage daughter's subjectivity from a single question exchange. I am confident that other readers will gain personal insight from what I consider, a conversation with a friend. Now I plan to pass my copy of the book to my daughter while sharing the practicality of the text with other parents who are committed to raising conscientious children.
