I've been wanting to read We Should All Be Feminists by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie for quite awhile and had planned to read it next month for Women's History Month. However, I simply couldn't wait to read it sooner rather than later... I'm glad that I decided to read We Should All Be Feminists by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie earlier than anticipated.

Although I thoroughly enjoyed reading We Should All Be Feminists by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, I felt like several ideas discussed in Adichie's book, were ideas I was already familiar with through reading other feminist texts. However, that doesn't mean that I didn't learn anything new at all or that I didn't enjoy the powerful message contained between it's covers.

What I enjoyed most about reading We Should All Be Feminists by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie is that it is very readable, yet contains a very powerful, straightforward message about the importance of being a feminist. Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie also makes a great case on why it is important to begin raising our children differently without the usual gender stereotypes/biases. 

I think We Should All Be Feminists by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie should be read by everyone, men and women alike. We all have the power to change our views and outlook to make the world a better, more inclusive place for all.

Below is a synopsis of We Should All Be Feminists by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie from Amazon:

The highly acclaimed, provocative New York Times bestseller—a personal, eloquently-argued essay, adapted from the much-admired TEDx talk of the same name—from Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, award-winning author of Americanah. Here she offers readers a unique definition of feminism for the twenty-first century, one rooted in inclusion and awareness. Drawing extensively on her own experiences and her deep understanding of the often masked realities of sexual politics, here is one remarkable author’s exploration of what it means to be a woman now—and an of-the-moment rallying cry for why we should all be feminists.

I am giving We Should All Be Feminists by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie a rating of 4 stars out 5 stars.

Until my next post, happy reading!!
